United Way of Miami-Dade

Operation Helping Hands is a collaborative of funders and corporate partners who have joined efforts to establish the Miami Pandemic Response Fund. Helping the Miami community through the hardships of Coronavirus (COVID-19).
The fund will support struggling families with emergency needs including rent/mortgage assistance, food, and medication, as well as issue micro-grants to small businesses.

A team of us from Finance, HR, Enterprise Risk and Front of
House are setting ourselves the challenge of running 150k each during the month of June.  This is the equivalent of 5k a day, every day for the 30 days.  The walkers amongst us have set ourselves the walking challenge and the injured have set ourselves challenges in line with doctor’s orders. 

Thank you for taking the time to visit our site and we would really appreciate anything you can give. All donations will be double-matched by our employer, RWC Partners, and some of it's employees, effectively tripling your contribution!

More information about United Way of Miami-Dade: Since 1924, United Way of Miami-Dade has been an innovative force in the community, successfully responding to emerging needs and transforming people's lives. In response to the novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) United Way of Miami-Dade and the Miami Herald/el Nuevo Herald have launched the Miami Pandemic Response Fund. The community is encouraged to support the fund to aid families and small businesses through a network of nonprofit partners responding to the unprecedented economic impacts of COVID-19.

We've been a little quiet since our last event, it hit us very hard to have to postpone that outstanding lineup. 
Nevertheless, we have been working on a new project called LOCKED, a series of eight livestreams aimed to raise funds for the Covid-19 fight by helping small businesses & families that are suffering the most during these times.

We decided to collaborate & help United Way of Miami-Dade.org and the Miami Herald/el Nuevo Herald on their latest project Activated Operation Helping Hands, an emergency response initiative to help our miami neighbors during a time of crisis.

Our initial goal was to raise $2,000 and we surpassed that in just 4 days. Now, were at $5,000 and continue to raise funds for our new goal of $10,000. 

This is a very creative & unique project where our sole goal is to raise awareness & create a conscious mind of how the city has been impacted because of the global pandemic. A view from the sky with unreal drone shots of different areas of Miami designated each to a certain local artist. 8 chapters that will serve as an archive in Miami's history of how the city looked when impacted  by the virus.
