Saving lives and creating change since 1974.
The UF Campaign for Charities (UFCC) is the University of Florida’s annual employee giving campaign, giving UF employees an opportunity to support nonprofit organizations through payroll deductions, cash, checks, or stock contributions. Last year, UFCC employees raised more than $750,000 to support participating charitable organizations. The UF Campaign for Charities supports 105 local charitable organizations that provide a wide variety of services, including medical assistance, legal help, environmental protection, food for the hungry, shelter for the abused and homeless, hospice care, pet services, school readiness for children, and much more.
Peaceful Paths is proud to be one of the organizations supported through UFCC. If you or someone you know works at the University of Florida, please consider encouraging them to designate their UFCC gift to Peaceful Paths. Every contribution helps us continue providing safety, support, and hope to survivors and their families in our community.
Peaceful Paths is a certified domestic violence shelter serving Alachua, Bradford, and Union county. We have worked tirelessly to empower thousands of survivors and their families through emergency safe shelter and housing, economic education and empowerment, child & youth programs, safety planning, counseling, and other support services.
We have outlined how your UFCC contribution will continue to our mission to Save Lives and Create Change in Gator Nation.
