Our Mission

To improve lives by mobilizing the caring power of the people of Citrus County through involvement with targeted community initiatives.

Vision Statement

United Way of Citrus County will assess and target the critical human needs of our community and provide leadership to meet those needs.

Our Goals

In 2008, United Way initiated a 10-year program designedtoachieve the following goals by 2018:

• Improve education, and cut the number of high school dropouts — 1.2 million students, every year — in half.


• Help people achieve financial stability, and get 1.9 million working families — half the number of lower-income families who are financially unstable — on the road to economic independence.


• Promote healthy lives, and increase by one-third the number of youth and adults who are healthy and avoid risky behaviors.

Our goals are ambitious, but with your help, and by utilizing our core strengths — a national network, committed partners and public engagement capacity — we can achieve them.
