'TIS THE SEASON

From all of us here at United Way, we wish you a safe and happy holiday season and a happy new year!

As we look back on the past year, we want to say THANK YOU to the many dedicated people who have helped us through generous donations, volunteer hours, attendance at events and so much more  - your help and support has meant so much!

As the year comes to a close, we would like to invite you to consider making a year-end donation to help us end 2023 in the best position to support the many organizations and people who need help in 2024.

CALL FOR GIFTCARDS

Do you have giftcards that have been sitting in your wallet for a year or even longer? Are you expecting additions to that collection this holiday season? Consider donating them to United Way and let us put them to use!

Clients will often have wait times between appointments and a giftcard to get lunch is a HUGE blessing. Gas cards are always needed. A grocery card can help to provide items not covered by food stamps. Home Depot, Home Goods or Hobby Lobby are all ways to help with items not in a budget but make a huge impact in a home. Whatever giftcards you have, we promise we can use them!

Please drop off at our office (301 Broadway Ave, Oak Ridge), or stick them in the mail to PO Box 4158, Oak Ridge 37831.
