Together, we can accomplish so much more than we can alone. We use those words a lot to describe the work we do here at United Way, and it’s absolutely true. Partnerships and collaborations are the only way to make the most impact. United Way of Blount County works through the programs we fund, the collaborative partners we work with, and the community partners who share our vision and goals for our community. And when we reach out a hand to one, we influence the condition of all.
