Your morning cup of coffee can do so much more than just wake you up. Through United Ministries' Coffee with a Purpose project, every sip helps keep local families safely in their homes. We locally partner with Mythos.Coffee out of Fort Walton Beach to bring you freshly roasted, exceptionally delicious coffee that is ethically and sustainably grown.

Sure, you can buy coffee anywhere, but when you support this effort, your contribution directly prevents homelessness right here in our community. As a special thank-you for your generosity, a fresh bag of coffee is available upon request when you make a donation to United Ministries.

We also want to give a special shoutout to our faithful community partners at Gulf Breeze United Methodist Church and St. Luke United Methodist Church. Both of these incredible church partner are supporters of our coffee in their local congregations. It's just another way that they show what it truly means to love our neighbors.

Enjoying an incredible cup of local coffee while making a direct impact on a family in need is a win-win for all of us. Support the mission, request your bag, and make your morning brew mean something more today!

Loving your neighbor means understanding what they're truly up against. In Escambia County, the "bare-minimum" survival budget for a family of four is $86,604, and right next door in Santa Rosa County, it rises to $88,212. That’s not for vacations, savings, or a rainy day fund—that’s just to keep food on the table, a roof overhead, and the lights on. Most of our neighbors in this area simply are not working jobs where their wages match growing financial demands.

These aren't just numbers; this impacts our neighbors, coworkers, and friends. Many of whom are working hard but facing impossible choices every month. That’s why community support isn't just helpful—it's vital. Let's work together to bridge the gap.

For $30 a month, you help us serve our community and provide stability to families and senior adults. Please consider parenting with us today as we walk alongside our neighbors.

Our work goes beyond financial aid!

Financial aid is just one piece of the puzzle. So far this year, we made just over 720 referrals to partner agencies to ensure the people we serve receive holistic, consistent, and comprehensive care through a strong network of nonprofit and local agency connections.

By committing to $30 a month over the next year— you help us continue this vital work.

The truth is, this work feels almost impossible at times. Partners like you make this possible! Please consider partnering with us today.

Every child deserves the comfort of their own bed. When a family faces a housing crisis, the impact on a child's world is profound, which is why our mission focuses so deeply on protecting the youngest among us.

In January alone, our services reached 63 children who were able to stay safe, secure, and tucked into their very own beds instead of facing the trauma of displacement.

We are currently in the middle of our 30/30 campaign, and we need your help to keep this momentum going. Your support directly ensures that more children in our community have a stable place to rest their heads tonight. Every dollar brings stability.

Join our 30 for 30 initiative to keep local families in their homes. For the cost of one dollar a day you can provide the stability our neighbors need to thrive.

United Ministries is seeing an urgent and growing need in our community. In the last fiscal year we provided over $200,000 in emergency assistance to 300 households. This support reached 848 individuals who were facing the crisis of displacement.

The need has not slowed down. This year we have already provided over $100,000 to assist 180 households. Our data shows that the average rental assistance request is now $900 while utility assistance averages nearly $400 per household.

Most of those we serve are families with children. In a single month we supported over 30 single parent families. Yet we also now find ourselves offering critical support to senior adults and vulnerable adults facing financial hardship.

Your commitment of $30 a month ensures that we never have to turn a family away when they are at their most vulnerable.

Since the beginning of the year, United Ministries has been hard at work ensuring our neighbors stay safe and warm. We are proud to share that over the first quarter, we provided critical utility assistance to 40 households across Santa Rosa and Escambia counties.

This milestone is only possible because of your continued support and dedication to our mission of loving our neighbors. Each of these 40 families represents a story of resilience and a community that refuses to let its members fall behind.

Thank you for helping us keep the lights on, homes heating and cooling and the water running for those who need it most. Together, we are building a stronger and more stable Florida Panhandle.
