Winter Haven Chamber

2026 Winter Haven Magazine

While we still welcome numerous winter visitors each year, Winter Haven has evolved into so much more - a true renaissance city. With an affordable lakeside lifestyle, robust and collaborative business community and entrepreneurial economy, a premier family friendly destination and home to LEGOLAND Florida Resort, a revitalized and vibrant downtown core, authentic Florida roots and a beautifully unique natural environment with 24-canal connected lakes, Winter Haven is the destination to live, work, eat, play and stay.

This is a free service and can be used not only for more current losses, but also for families separated years ago that may have exhausted other avenues. The attached video provides more background. In these uncertain times, please share if you know religious or humanitarian organizations that can reach out to separated individuals or families. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VjOk4Emxm2Y
