Why should I give locally?

Giving to United Way of Hamblen County is the most powerful way to give back to your LOCAL community because…

• a gift to United Way improves the lives of many people through Our Partner Agencies. Your money stays in your own backyard. Donations to United Way support local people: children, adults, families, and seniors. While you might have some idea of what people in another nation need, you probably have a much better idea of what people in your neighborhood need.
• our youth thrive on opportunity! We support agencies that support growth and opportunity whether it’s temporary or long-term housing, early childhood education, the Arts, educational & social activities during after-school and extended school breaks, mentoring and lifeskills, programs specifically for girls, or programs for families seeking cultural support and English or Spanish language classes.
• it helps build an even stronger community. Stronger communities seek to improve the lives and futures of their residents by encouraging everyone to become the best versions of themselves.
• people right here in our county have needs, too. Through the individual and collective purposes of Our Partner Agencies, a bridge of support is created to help others cross streams of troubles — ultimately encouraged, guided, and taught how to support themselves. This is the most self-sustaining solution to issues such as food or housing insecurity, substance misuse and addiction recovery, homelessness, financial and emotional management, and unmanaged healthcare needs.
