United Way has known for years that the best way to uplift our community is to give, advocate, and volunteer. By merging with our great friends at Volunteer East Tennessee, our joint efforts will enhance the volunteer capabilities and outreach of both organizations. We are eager to use this collaboration to amplify our impact in the community and lead the Volunteer State in innovative volunteer opportunities.
Volunteer East Tennessee is a great resource for individuals AND corporate groups. We offer on-site, small group, and company-wide projects for businesses of all sizes. Right now, we have over 200 organizations posting volunteer opportunities regularly on our website.
