United Way of Loudon County

Our experience tells us the best way to help the most people is to focus on the underlying causes of the most serious problems. Here in our community, we’re focused on critical issues like:

helping individuals have access to healthcare
providing children and adults with education and life skills
ensuring basic needs and emergency services are available

It takes the whole community working together to reach our goals in these areas. So we bring people together from all across the community— government, business, faith groups, non profits, and concerned citizens. If it requires fundraising or getting people to work together, that’s what we do.

Your United Way contribution works to bring lasting change right here because that’s what matters.

2011 Campaign Kicked Off!

The United Way of Loudon County kicked-off their 2011 Campaign on Thursday, September 1st at First Baptist Church in Lenoir City. Al Brown, assistant coach for the Duke Univeristy Blue Devils women"s team, challenged United Way and the community to exceed the $430,000 goal and raise $450,000 to meet the growing needs of the county.

School superintendents, Jason Vance and Wayne Miller, commented on the success of the first year of the UWLC"s Grauation Coach program in Loudon and Lenoir City High Schools. They reported that 16 out of the 18 students participating in the program received their diploma and that this would not just impact the lives of these young people, but also their families and the community.

Students from the P3(Positive, Peer Pressure group in the high schools also made a presentation. They told how United Way funds enabled them to attend the Teen Institute to learn about leadership and how to make important life decisions.

In addition to the kick-off, UWLC held their second annual Driving to Make a Difference event on September 24th at Adesa Auto Auction. This event was hosted by Adesa and the East TN Region Sport Car Club of America. Sponsors for the event included Pilot, WBIR,ORNL Federal Credit Union and Lenoir City Ford. The event featured the Lenoir City & Loudon Police departments and the Loudon County Sheriff"s Department in the Law Enforcement Challenge. Spectators could also buy ride-a-longs with drivers participating in the competition.

UWLC asks you to please give now and make a differnce in Loudon County!
