The United Way and CREW!

The United Way has long helped in disaster. In addition, they have been great to CREW.

The United Way and NFL partnership has helped with over $60,000 in materials used by volunteers to repair hundreds of homes in Hendry and Glades Counties.

The United Way of Lee, Hendry and Glades Counties has funded the executive director position at CREW since its inception and has pledged to continue their financial, informational and other support of CREW well into the future. In addition the Hendry and Glades United Way 211 program staff, Arlene Bettencourt especially, have served on CREW's unmet needs committee since its inception as well, and continue to assist CREW in finding resources for needing families throughout the rural Hendry and Glades Counties.

The United Way of Florida continues to provide CREW's executive director with valuable resources and information, not to mention the incredible introduction to the disaster world and its resources that Joy Duperault, Statewide Disaster Coordinator, and others have provided to CREW.
