Disaster Relief Fund

When disaster strikes, our community responds—and so do we.

Whether facing hurricanes, severe weather, or other community emergencies, the United Way Disaster Relief Fund provides flexible assistance to help Hernando County residents recover. Working alongside Hernando County Emergency Management, the Unmet Needs Committee, and COAD (Community Organizations Active in Disaster), we help address critical gaps that traditional funding often cannot.

Your donation supports:

• Emergency assistance for families in crisis
• Immediate, short-term, and long-term recovery efforts
• Essential needs not covered by other funding sources
• Local residents impacted by disasters and unexpected emergencies

Every dollar designated to the Disaster Relief Fund remains in Hernando County, providing timely support to our neighbors when they need it most.

Qualified assistance requests are reviewed on a case-by-case basis to ensure resources reach those with the greatest unmet needs.

When our community needs help, your generosity helps us respond quickly, compassionately, and locally.
