At United Way of Lake and Sumter

We focus on ensuring that people have access to the resources they need right now, while also working to assist and address the root causes of our communities’ most persistent challenges. Many times a need for one service may prompt or be followed by a need for multiple services. All may be needed for long term stability. For that reason, the following valuable resources in our community are at your disposal.
