A Letter From Our Sheriff
Dear Team,
As members of the Jackson County Sheriff's Office, we serve our community every day. Supporting United Way offers another opportunity to help the individuals and families who call our community home.
United Way brings together donations, volunteers, and community partners to support health, education, and essential human services. Each local United Way is independently incorporated and governed by local volunteers who understand the needs of the people they serve.
One of the most meaningful aspects of giving to our local United Way is that the money raised stays local to support programs and services in the communities it serves. Your contribution helps our neighbors and strengthens the community where we live and work.
Employees who choose to donate through payroll deduction will receive one additional day of vacation time each year. This is a way to recognize your generosity and encourage support for the important work United Way does locally.
In our profession, we see firsthand the challenges many families face. Supporting local resources can help people through difficult times and give them opportunities to move forward.
I encourage each of you to consider participating. Giving is entirely voluntary, and your support is appreciated.
Thank you for your continued service, compassion, and dedication to the people of Jackson County.
Sincerely,
Sheriff Edenfield
Jackson County Sheriff's Office
Incentive
As a thank you for your generosity, employees who donate will receive one additional day of PTO. It is our way of recognizing the difference your support makes in this community.
How It Works
Giving through your workplace campaign is simple. Use the form below to make your pledge before November 13 and choose exactly where you want your dollars to go.
You have three ways to direct your gift:
- By Impact Area: Give to the causes that matter most to you, whether that is education, financial stability, health, or community resiliency.
- To a Specific Agency: Choose from a list of vetted nonprofit agencies in our community that have been reviewed and approved by United Way of Northwest Florida.
- To Any 501(c)(3): Have an organization close to your heart that is not on the list? You can designate your gift to any eligible nonprofit.
Your Deadline: Friday, November 13
All pledges must be submitted by Friday, November 13. It only takes a few minutes, and every dollar you give becomes six for someone in our community who needs it.
