United Way of Charlotte County has also created a program to help strengthen the local workforce following Hurricane Ian. Lost time and staff turnover due to non-work-related issues experienced by employees directly affects productivity, work quality and therefore, the bottom line. United at Work mobilizes community resources for employees of Charlotte County businesses to encourage financial stability in our community.
Thanks to a generous matching challenge grant from the Elsa & Peter Soderberg Foundation, donations to United at Work were matched dollar for dollar up to $500,000 -- creating a $1,000,000+ pool of resources to get Charlotte County employees on their feet and back to work!
