United Way - Message from the Mayor

Dear Miami-Dade County family,

Welcome to our annual United Way Miami campaign! Get ready to turn your compassion into action and come together to show your deep commitment to our community by strengthening the education, financial stability, and health of co-workers, friends, and neighbors across Miami-Dade.

By building a stronger Miami-Dade, we’re keeping our most vulnerable families from being swept into a recurring cycle of poverty. Here are just a few of United Way Miami’s over 100 programs and services that bring lasting change to our neighbors in need:

  • United Way Center for Excellence in Early Education — An internationally recognized demonstration school dedicated to elevating the quality of early care and education in Miami-Dade and beyond.
  • United Way Center for Financial Stability — Two one-stop centers that provide working individuals and families with a full range of services and support, from financial coaching to free tax preparation and benefits enrollment to employment assistance and credit counseling.
  • FamilyWize — A national prescription drug discount program for our community that can save enrollees an average of $23 per prescription.
  • Mission United — United Way’s newest initiative helps empower veterans and their families by connecting them to essential services and employment opportunities.

Miami-Dade County is proud to be part of this great tradition of giving back. With your support, I know we’ll make this year's campaign a huge success and help individuals and families in Miami-Dade pave a way to a brighter future.

Thank you for making a difference in the lives of those who need it most, and for all that you do year-round to build a Miami-Dade where all families can thrive.

With gratitude and wishes for a happy, healthy, and fulfilling holiday season,
Mayor Daniella
