Our experience tells us that the best way to help the most people is to focus on the underlying causes of the most serious problems. Here in Knoxville, we're focused on critical issues like healthcare, education for adults and children, and the rising number of working people living on the edge of poverty.

It takes the whole community working together to reach our goals in these areas. So we bring together people from all across the community-people from government, business, faith groups, nonprofits, and ordinary citizens. If it requires fundraising or just getting people to work together, that's what we do.

Your United Way contribution goes to work bringing lasting change right here in our community because that's what matters.
