Florence County donates $10,000 to County Collective

FLORENCE — Florence County has donated $10,000 to support the Florence County Collective. 
United Way of Florence County runs the countywide initiative, aligning work of nonprofit organizations and government agencies to address issues with the greatest potential to improve quality of life for Florence County residents.
The Florence County Collective was established in 2024 to build on the work of the prior Florence County Coordinating Council, which ceased operation in 2020.

“We at the County recognize that a vibrant nonprofit community has tremendous potential to help us meet the needs of our residents,” said Kevin Yokim, Florence County administrator. “By combining resources and joining forces more effectively, we can efficiently address issues that would otherwise fall on the County alone.”
