Our Mission
|
| At United Way, we work to mobilize the caring
power of community to create a positive impact in
peoples' lives. We do this by identifying what matters
most to Knox County and working to bring about change.
By investing in agencies, collaborating with other
organizations, and doing whatever it takes to collectively
address the root causes of many of our most serious
issues, United Way changes peoples' lives. |

2-1-1...Get Connected!
|
What is 2-1-1? Like 9-1-1 it is an
easy-to-remember number for people in need. A call
to 2-1-1 connects people with needed services in
the community as well as information about those
services. 2-1-1 provides access to necessary agencies
for those who are not sure how to find the help they
need. It provides confidential 24/7 access to social
services information while saving 9-1-1 for emergencies.
