Stronger Together: Bradford & Union Counties Community Resilience Kick-Off

Event Title: Bradford & Union Counties Stronger Together with logos of various participating organizations

Building Community Resilience Together

Disasters impact entire communities and recovery takes all of us.

United Way North Central Florida invites community members, organizations, businesses, and local leaders to join the launch of a new collaborative initiative serving Bradford County and Union County.

Bradford and Union counties are coming together to form a Community Organization Active in Disaster (COAD) and Long-Term Recovery Group (LTRG). These coalitions bring neighbors, nonprofits, businesses, faith communities, and local leaders together to coordinate disaster response and recovery—before, during, and after a crisis.
