Mission:
WEE exists to lift families and communities in the Big Bend by providing essential resources, compassionate support, and rapid relief — empowering every woman, child, and family to thrive with dignity and hope.
Vision:
To be the heart of humanitarian relief in the Big Bend, a trusted clearinghouse where resources flow seamlessly to those in need, and where communities are strengthened, women are empowered, and every child has the foundation to flourish.
WEE as the Regional Clearinghouse:
For nearly a decade, WEE has served as the central hub for sourcing, storing, moving, and responding with essentials — diapers, food, wipes, formula, and advocacy — across 14 counties. Our programs cover all phases of the disaster continuum:
Preparedness: Pre-staging supplies, building volunteer capacity, and coordinating with local agencies.
Response: Rapid mobilization of mobile distributions and emergency deliveries.
Recovery: Home visits, ongoing family support, and advocacy for housing and basic needs.
Mitigation: Strengthening community networks and disaster readiness through partnerships and campaigns.
The Ooowee Campaign:
WEE’s Ooowee Campaign is a $100,000 humanitarian relief initiative designed to:
Demonstrate WEE’s capacity as a regional clearinghouse.
Provide $50,000 in monetary relief and $50,000 in provisions to families across the Big Bend.
Build partnerships with agencies, businesses, hospitals, and community members to create a replicable model of regional relief.
Impact:
Through this campaign, WEE ensures that essential resources reach the families who need them most, while reinforcing community resilience, empowering women and children, and establishing WEE as the recognized clearinghouse of humanitarian aid in North Florida.
