A Letter From Our
Executive Director
From Being Mentored to Now Mentoring!

The United Way of Charlotte County Board of Directors recently welcomed Elizabeth (Liz) Sides to the board. I had the pleasure of meeting Liz a few years ago when she was nominated for our Women United Award called Woman of Courage. This award recognizes a woman facing challenges with resilience, and overcoming adversity with determination, perseverance and strength to reach her goals and dreams. This describes Liz perfectly.  
Perhaps you would be interested in providing spa or personal items for goodie ‘swag’ bags. We will be assembling 50 bags for these well deserving moms.
