The fund allows the United Way to partner with local organizations to set collective goals, track results and align programs to carry out the mission of helping underserved people achieve their academic and financial potential. New College is also participating in Adopt-a-Family of Manatee County, which is celebrating 30 years of helping families in need. Each holiday season, Adopt-a-Family provides gifts to over 1,500 families and 4,500 children. Read More |
