United Way Miami, one of the leading non-profit organizations in South Florida is kicking off its centennial celebrations.
Founded less than three decades after Miami’s official incorporation, on Apr 24, 1924, United Way Miami has supported local families daily for 100 years to build a thriving, resilient community. From global pandemics to natural disasters to inequity across different groups, United Way Miami has led the region through these crises.
“I am truly proud of this moment and to lead this amazing organization into this pivotal milestone,” said Symeria T. Hudson, president and CEO of United Way Miami. “As we stand on a new horizon for United Way Miami, we’re at the forefront of forging innovative solutions to the complex issues facing our residents. Through strategic partnerships, we’re making a collective impact that extends far beyond our local boundaries. By uniting Miami’s public and private sectors, we’re amplifying our efforts to uplift our community and achieve tangible, long-lasting outcomes.”
With Miami-Dade County rapidly transforming, experiencing increasing wage gaps, the high cost of living and the high supply of jobs with low demand of talent, United Way Miami is focused on solving these issues with a targeted approach. It directly leads 14 initiatives to help the underserved and provides funding, expertise, research, advocacy, public awareness and volunteers to nearly 100 programs at more than 60 local agencies. Every year, United Way Miami’s work impacts the lives of more than 230,000 individuals.
The organization remains the go-to resource for the area’s most vulnerable residents, serving as a beacon of hope for a better tomorrow. By combining Miami’s public and private partners to lift those in need, residents become empowered and equipped to survive challenges, improve their lives and become part of a thriving Miami.
United Way Miami helps families facing unexpected hardships and enables them to plan for a stable financial future. United Way also helps military veterans pursue training for in-demand careers and helps children reach their full potential by providing quality early education. It also gives older adults nutritious meals, in-home personal care and fitness programs.
United Way Miami is laying the foundation to make an even greater impact during the next 100 years, ensuring everyone in Miami-Dade has access to quality education and the opportunity to live healthy and financially secure lives. United Way Miami’s next century of service will build on this legacy to make a lasting impact for the generations that follow.
