In our latest Freedom to Rise podcast, we take a deeper look at the 2026 ALICE Report—highlighting the real challenges facing hardworking families across our region.

ALICE households are earning above the federal poverty line, yet still struggling to afford the basics—and often just one unexpected expense away from crisis.

Hear from experts as they discuss who is being impacted most, why it matters, and how we can come together to create solutions

Through our Community Impact Investment, United Way Suncoast is helping students and families build the skills and confidence needed to succeed—both in and out of the classroom.

Meet Joshua Way Hope and its Achievers Educational Program, which provides personalized academic, social, and behavioral support to help students reach their full potential. By identifying each child’s unique learning style, the program strengthens reading, vocabulary, and math skills—supporting on‑time grade promotion and academic success.

Beyond academics, students develop essential social‑emotional skills, learning self‑regulation techniques to manage stress, anxiety, and everyday challenges while building healthy communication habits.

Together, we’re empowering students, supporting families, and helping young people thrive in school and in life.

Summer is more than a season—it’s an opportunity 💛

Thanks to the incredible kids at Sulphur Springs K-8 and Tampa YMCA Summer Care Camp, we’re kicking off a summer focused on growth, enrichment and possibility for every child we serve.

Because when we invest in our youth, we invest in our future.

Disasters don’t send calendar invites, but preparation makes all the difference.
