Help in Sumter County Florida
At United Way of Lake and Sumter, we focus on ensuring that people have access to the resources they need right now, while also working to assist and address the root causes of our communities’ most persistent challenges.

- Basic Human Needs Resources: food banks, shelters, rent and utility payment assistance
