Our Chief Operating Officer Amanda Lasecki recently presented at the Southeast Volusia Chamber of Commerce’s L.E.A.D. Program.

Amanda shared a look at the national, state and local non-profit community and provided an overview of the A.L.I.C.E. population in Volusia County.

She also facilitated an A.L.I.C.E. simulation so participants could put themselves in the shoes of the households working paycheck to paycheck to make ends meet.

October was Rotary International’s Economic & Community Development Month, which highlights focus areas such as promoting economic growth in underserved areas and reducing poverty.

My topic was ALICE which stands for asset limited, income constrained, employed.

The new data that came out this summer shows 44 percent of households in Volusia and Flagler have incomes that fall below the amount needed to cover basic costs of housing, food, transportation, health care, childcare and technology.

"We talked about what the Community Foundation and United Way of Volusia-Flagler Counties does to support ALICE families and how individuals and companies can help," said Denise O'Toole Kelly.

CF/UWVFC in our Community

Ever wonder what it's like to be a school principal?

FUTURES Foundation's Principal for a Day gave community partners and guests an opportunity to go behind the scenes and walk the halls to see what happens in the world of the principal.

"I came away with an even greater appreciation for everything that goes into leading a school and supporting students, staff, and parents," said CF/UWVFC Community Investments Senior Manager Cary Quinones.

Photos were taken at Spirit Elementary School.

Recently, a remarkable opportunity unfolded as community leaders engaged with local educators through the Principal for a Day program.

CF/UWVFC was represented by Community Investments Senior Manager Cary Quinones.
"I came away with an even greater appreciation for everything that goes into leading a school and supporting students, staff, and parents!"

This initiative allows participants to gain invaluable insights into the complexities of school leadership and the commitment required to support students, staff, and families effectively.

Such experiences deepen our appreciation for the hard work and dedication of our educators.

Let's continue to strengthen our community connections and support local education initiatives.

Great Things are happening every day!

Root Company, Root Family Foundation, and the Community Foundation and United Way of Volusia-Flagler Counties (CF/UWVFC) announce the establishment of the Root Company Community Fund, a Donor-Advised Fund (DAF) that channels corporate philanthropy directly toward the region's most critical needs while giving Root employees a voice in which local charities the fund supports.

Thank you for this generous and thoughtful contribution.

Fast Fact: The next time you see a Coca Cola bottle- keep in mind that the world-famous trademark was created in 1915 at Root Glass Company. Awesome!
