Cumberland Countians can help their neighbors by supporting the United Fund.
“As the season of gratitude approaches, the Cumberland County United Fund invites everyone to make a tangible difference in the lives of local families,” said Holly Neal, United Fund executive director.
John Wigington, chair of the Fairfield Glade Door-to-Door campaign, reports that the effort is off to a fantastic start.
“The community has already contributed enough to reach half of the $70,000 goal, but there’s still work to be done,” Neal said. “Every gift counts toward helping neighbors in need.”
This season, supporters can honor a loved one by making a gift in their name — a meaningful way to celebrate someone special while giving hope to others.
“Did you know that one in seven Tennesseans — including one in six children — experience food insecurity?” Neal asked.
“Every dollar donated turns into nutritious food distributed by local food pantries,” she added. “Your gift ensures that children, adults, and seniors in our county have access to nutritious meals that nourish their bodies and minds.”
All United Fund contributions remain in Cumberland County, supporting 39 nonprofits that provide food, shelter, safety, and care. Neal said this year, thanks to generous donors and the United Fund Board, the number of supported agencies has grown from 35 to 39, reaching even more families in need.
