Did you know that 1 in 4 of roughly 92,000 seniors in Knoxville live alone?

There is much work to be done in Knoxville to improve the lives of low-income seniors. The United Way of Greater Knoxville is proud to work with local agencies and programs designed to provide care for those in need.

What does United Way do to help with seniors in need?
We help people by raising funds and supporting programs that provide solutions here in Knoxville. Those programs include the Knoxville-Knox County Community Action Committee, Catholic Charities of East Tennessee, Inc., Senior Citizens Home Assistance Service, Inc. and the Wesley House. Although these 501(C)3 organizations also raise funds individually, the United Way is responsible for providing funding, which represents a significant portion of their operational budgets, allowing them to better serve those in our community in need of help.

How do I know that my donation will help seniors in Knoxville?

Any donation of any size is helpful, and even the smallest donations add up.
