United Way of Tampa Bay opened the Sulphur Springs Resource Center on April 13, 2009. The Center opened in response to a need identified by the residents and leadership of Sulphur Springs to have a central location for services to help individuals as access benefits, prepare for their GED, find jobs and develop new skills. During the period From April 13 through June 30, 2009, the Sulphur Springs Resource Center has served more than 750 individuals with more than 900 visits. Through partnerships with Crisis Center, Bay Area Legal Services, Tampa Bay Workforce Alliance and Tampa Metro YMCA, residents receive high quality, customer friendly assistance. It is also a place where community groups meet—working along with United Way—to develop strategies for strengthening the Sulphur Springs neighborhood and making it a better place to live, grow and prosper.

United Way of Tampa Bay brings together many funding partners to support the efforts of neighborhood building in Sulphur Springs including the Spurlino Foundation; Allegany Franciscan Ministries, Inc.; JP Morgan Chase; and IBM through in-kind donations of computers.
