This week, the United Way Space Coast team visited Sharing Center of Central Brevard for a behind-the-scenes tour with President & CEO David Brubaker. Along with our new Director of Corporate Partnerships, Josh Inguanzo, Loaned Executive Nick Malone (Carr, Riggs & Ingram), COO Michelle Malyn, and CEO Kathryn Rudloff, we saw firsthand how this incredible organization is changing lives every day.

From serving 41,073 hot meals annually and helping 15,878 food pantry clients, to distributing $1.7 million in food donations and providing weekend meal kits to families through local schools, the Sharing Center is meeting real needs throughout our community.

As we approach the launch of our annual campaign next month, visits like this remind us why our work matters. When we meet with businesses, organizations, and supporters across Brevard, we can share firsthand how donor dollars are making a difference through partners like the Sharing Center.

We're also excited to have Nick Malone serving as a United Way Space Coast Loaned Executive this campaign season. Thank you to Carr, Riggs & Ingram for investing in our community and helping advance our mission.

Together, we can inspire hope, strengthen families, and ensure that our neighbors have access to the support they need. 💙💛❤️
