Advancing
The Common
Good
United Way of Blount County works to advance
the common good by focusing on the issues of
education, self-sufficiency, and health.
Local volunteers identified that these are the
building blocks for a good life – a quality
education that leads to a stable job, selfsufficiency that supports a family through
retirement, and good health.
Our goal is to create long-lasting changes
that prevent problems from happening in the
first place, but also to address basic needs.
We invite you to be a part of the change.
Together, united, we can inspire hope and
create opportunities for a better tomorrow.
