ST. LUCIE & OKEECHOBEE COUNTIES, FL October 7th — In light of the impending hurricane set to impact our area, United Way has made the decision to temporarily postpone our Fall Day of Caring originally scheduled for Saturday, October 12th. The safety of our dedicated volunteers and the community we serve is our top priority during this challenging time.
In the heart of St. Lucie and Okeechobee counties, a group of high school students is making waves with their remarkable dedication to community service. Meet Youth United, the dynamic affinity group under the umbrella of United Way of St. Lucie & Okeechobee, which is redefining the essence of youth involvement and philanthropy.
