Investing in the Community: A $1 Million Investment in The Sharing Center

In December of 2020, Heart of Florida United Way received a historic $20 million donation from author and philanthropist MacKenzie Scott. This past year, we began strategically investing this donation in the Central Florida community — starting with a transformative $1 million investment in The Sharing Center, to launch Live United Village.

The investment will enhance social services in Seminole County by creating a one-stop hub to support our homeless neighbors and help uplift Seminole County residents out of poverty.

Specifically, Live United Village will help members of the community struggling financially to achieve financial stability by supporting job searching, job training, and finding a stable place to live.

Part of this will be accomplished through its ProjectRISE (Reach, Inspire, Sustain, and Empower) program, which is a workforce development program for individuals and their families to gain skillful employment, financial freedom, and housing stability.
