Welcome to the Palm Motor Legacy workplace-giving donation page! Your participation in the United Way workplace-giving campaign provides a unique opportunity to give back to your community. By donating your vehicle or making a one-time gift, you can support a variety of programs that drive positive change in education, health, and basic needs in Florida.

These funds help sustain vital services like the 211 hotline, educational programs, and health initiatives. Every donation contributes to a larger funding stream that helps create a safety net for those in need, illustrating the power of collective giving.
