From helping our neighbors at the Hardee Help Center to taking the stage as Hippolyta in A Midsummer Night's Dream, our very own Case Manager, Tiffany Grills, is sharing the love across Hardee County!

We're so grateful to the Peace River Entertainment and Performing Arts Center (PREPAC) for partnering with us to Drive Out Hunger during this wonderful production.

There's still time to catch the show, cheer on Tiffany, and bring a nonperishable food donation to help our neighbors in need!

A little theater magic can make a big difference!

We are thankful for United Way of Central Florida and the work they do to provide essential food for those in need!

Everyone deserves access to nutritious food. 💙

On World Food Day, we recognize the importance of ensuring individuals and families have access to the food they need to thrive.

Across our community, United Way of Central Florida works alongside partners to help address hunger and connect our neighbors with resources that can make a difference.

Because when families have reliable access to food, they can focus on what comes next learning, working, growing and building a stronger future.

Today, we celebrate the partners, volunteers and supporters helping put food on tables throughout Central Florida.

Together, we can help build a community where no one has to face hunger alone.

Thank you, WAUC 102.1, for spending your morning with us and helping spread the word about ways our community can come together to care for our neighbors!
