In Jacksonville, we believe that everyone deserves a fair shot—a chance to thrive, to grow, and to build a better future. Our city’s greatest strength lies in the diversity of its people and the compassion we show to one another. That spirit of unity and service is what drives real, lasting change.

As Mayor, I’m proud to recognize the incredible work of United Way of Northeast Florida, a cornerstone of our community for over 100 years. Since 1924, United Way has stood beside our neighbors, providing vital resources, opening doors to opportunity, and breaking down barriers for families across our region.

This legacy of impact is not just something to celebrate—it’s something to carry forward. With your support, we can ensure that every child has the tools to succeed, every adult has access to stability, and every family has hope for a brighter tomorrow.

I encourage you to be part of this movement during the City of Jacksonville’s giving campaign. Your generosity powers this work and helps create a stronger, more equitable future for all of us.

Together, we can continue lifting each other up. Together, we can invest in solutions that last. And together, we can make Jacksonville a city where everyone—no matter their background—has the opportunity to thrive.

Thank you for your compassion, your commitment, and your belief in the power of community.

With gratitude,

Donna Deegan
Mayor, City of Jacksonville
