ORLANDO, FL, UNITED STATES, May 5, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Community Coordinated Care for Children, Inc. announced today that it will receive $65,000 to support its Head Start and Early Head Start programs from Heart of Florida United Way (HFUW), as part of HFUW’s 2026 program-year investments in community partners.

Heart of Florida United Way’s (HFUW) community investment process engages trained volunteers and rigorous evaluation to direct donor dollars toward programs that create measurable, lasting impact throughout Orange, Osceola and Seminole counties. The 2026 program year investments, in part, reflect HFUW’s strategic focus on early childhood education as a cornerstone of long-term community well-being.

The $65,000 investment will directly benefit 4C’s Head Start and Early Head Start programs, which serve low-income children from birth through age five and their families across the tri-county region. Head Start provides comprehensive services — including education, health and mental health, nutrition, and family support — to children ages three to five not in school in Osceola and Seminole counties. Early Head Start extends those same services to infants and toddlers under three years old and expectant mothers in Orange, Osceola, and Seminole counties.

“We are deeply grateful to Heart of Florida United Way for this transformative investment in 4C’s Head Start and Early Head Start programs. Every dollar of their $65,000 investment goes directly to work for our youngest and most vulnerable children who deserve a strong start in life, regardless of the circumstances they are born into,” said Patricia Frank, MBA, CPA, 4C President and Chief Executive Officer.

She added, “This partnership is a testament to what is possible when a community unites around its priorities for children’s early education and family stability. With HFUW’s support, we will continue to provide comprehensive, high-quality early childhood and support services that not only prepare children for kindergarten but also focus on family self-sufficiency.”
