Call your congressman’s office. Write a letter to the editor of your local paper. Speak up at a dinner party.
Advocacy is about championing a cause. It's about taking time to understand the issues, promoting them to friends and family, and increasing awareness of important issues. It's about lending your voice to people whose voices are seldom heard – children, the elderly, those who are down on their luck.
Heart of Florida United Way is working to address these critical issues that matter to Central Floridians and the future of our community:
- Building Safe Communities
- Improving Financial Stability
- Alleviating Hunger and Homelessness
- Developing Healthy Children & Families
Achieving real, sustained change in community conditions requires the engagement of everyday citizens as well as policy leaders and decision makers at the local, state and national level. As a community advocate, you can play an important role in influencing outcomes that directly improve our neighbors’ lives.
