WHO

WE ARE

When we first opened in 1957, we were known as The Community Chest. Our first year, we raised $48,176.85. Since then, we have raised $25.95 million! We’ve changed a lot over the years, but our goal hasn’t. Since day one, our mission has been to engage and inspire communities to create a shared vision for the future and set goals for collective action in the areas of health, education, and income. And that’s exactly what we do. Every year, we’re amazed by the generous hearts and continued support of those in our community. It’s amazing what happens when we LIVE UNITED!

MISSION & VISION

To positively impact lives in St. Johns and Putnam Counties so all can thrive.

To inspire and lead a community in providing transformative health, education, and financial security for all generations by collaborating with donors, partners and volunteers.
