Our Story

THE LEADING COORDINATOR AND FACILITATOR OF HUMAN SERVICES IN VOLUSIA & FLAGLER COUNTIES

What began as the “Daytona Beach Community Fund” in 1941 has grown into today’s United Way of Volusia-Flagler Counties, raising funds for our partner agencies. There is no other charity like United Way. We combine over 50 fund-raisers into one, saving the community-and our agencies-time and money that is better spent helping people. We constantly bring local volunteers and community leaders together to identify and solve local problems.

The United Way of Volusia-Flagler Counties, Inc., (UWVF) is a corporation defined in Chapter 496 of the Florida Statues. Formed for charitable purposes and tax-exempt under Internal Revenue Service Code 501-c-3, we are one of more than 1,800 locally independent United Ways in the United States and throughout the world.
