United Ways of Tennessee fights for the health, education and financial
stability of every person in our state, and our efforts provide:
• Crisis response, food and shelter for victims of disasters, such as the pandemic, floods and tornadoes
• Health care for vulnerable people who would otherwise go without
• Basic needs for those facing tough times
• Safe havens from domestic abuse
• Volunteer opportunities to support our communities
• Job skills for people who want to work
• Programming to engage and educate children and youth
• Free 2-1-1 phone access in every county to find health and human services
When you give to United Way, you can give to a specific charity, a combination of charities, or you can designate directly to United Ways
of Tennessee for statewide efforts or to a member United Way that serves your local community.
Together, we can inspire hope and create opportunities for a better tomorrow.
That’s what it means to LIVE UNITED™
To learn more about how we and your local United Way is helping your community, please link to: www.uwtn.org
We also are proud to lead the Tennessee Afterschool Network and are grateful for donations for this initiative!
The Tennessee Afterschool network supports children, youth and families by building access to healthy and nurturing
afterschool and summer learning experiences. Out-of-school-time programs give parents peace of mind, allow them
to work a full schedule, and help them be more productive on the job and successful in their careers, including our
essential workers. They also offer social and emotional support and enriching activities that spark kids’ interest in
school and learning. Research shows that students participating in high-quality afterschool programs are less likely to
abuse drugs or alcohol; are more likely to advance to the next grade and graduate from high school; earn higher grades
and do better on standardized tests. Some out-of-school-time programs even provide opportunities for youth to gain
employability skills, connect with local businesses, and explore possible careers.
