We can all be part of healthy solutions in our community. As we monitor community needs, nonprofit needs, and news from public health officials, the following information may be helpful to you.

 

United Way of Charlotte County is a sponsor of the Community Organizations Active in Disaster (COAD). The COAD is a point of entry to assist Charlotte County residents with economic hardships due to COVID-19 and its effects on our daily lives. Funding will be available for rent/mortgage, transportation, utilities, childcare, food, and other needs once and initial screening has been completed. Visit www.COADFL.org to fill out a pre-screen application today or call 2-1-1 (or 941-205-2161 for TTY, Englewood, and out of area cell phone callers) for information on available community resources.
