Provide COVID-19 Related Emergency Assistance to South Florida Families

Our community is facing the realities of the global COVID-19 pandemic. Schools are closed. Employees are losing jobs. Small businesses are shuttered. Social and economic life is screeching to a halt. And rightfully so, many of us are frightened. Families are frightened.

Before we knew what the coronavirus was, 340,737 Broward County households were struggling financially. If each household were a person, we’d fill the Hard Rock Stadium five times and then some. But what we’re talking about isn’t a game.

These are folks who are working, but due to child care costs, transportation challenges, high cost of living and so much more are living paycheck to paycheck.[1] And these households are among the hardest hit by this pandemic.

Please join the United Way of Broward County and The Jim Moran Foundation in providing emergency assistance to South Florida children, youth, and families who are most at-risk of financial despair.

Hispanic Unity of Florida (HUF) – and our network of community partners - are working with families to ensure their basic needs are met in spite of this pandemic. In the short-term, families need food and rental & utility payment assistance.

Your gift goes directly to the individuals and families – who through no fault of their own – need food on their tables and roofs over their heads. Your gift ensures that HUF is able to continue providing services – through email, phone, and videoconference. Your gift makes a statement – that in good times & bad – you believe in creating successful children, strong families, civically engaged citizens, and an inclusive and equitable community.

Every gift matters. Please make yours TODAY!
