July DIY: Children Mental Health Kits

At United Way Suncoast, our focus on Educational Opportunity, Financial Security and Community Resiliency creates an interconnected path that empowers individuals with the Freedom To Rise. Our goal is to uplift ALICE families - Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed - as they cultivate a future beyond the circumstantial constraints put on them.

This month, we invite you to volunteer your time by creating Children Mental Health Kits for youth across our Suncoast Region. These kits will include essential tools that promote self-care, emotional well-being, and positivity, helping children build a strong foundation for mental and emotional resilience.
