FORT WALTON BEACH — United Way of Okaloosa-Walton Counties has approved the allocation of funds from the 2015 campaign to be disbursed to the 40 United Way partner agencies.
Allocating funds to the partner agencies’ programs is a very involved process. Many trained volunteers from within our community serve on the Fund Distribution Committee, which focuses on three key areas: Children & Education; Financial Stability & Disaster Preparedness; and Health & Prevention.
Committee volunteers annually evaluate the community problems and direct your dollars given to the Community Care Fund to the area of service that will make the greatest impact.
The agencies will receive the following allocations:
●2-1-1 of Northwest Florida, $5,500; American Red Cross, $11,293; AMIkids of the Emerald Coast, $12,789; The Arc of the Emerald Coast, $30,646; The Arc of Walton County; $14,531; Big Brothers Big Sister of Northwest Florida, $10,903; Boys & Girls Club of the Emerald Coast, $25,664.
