United Way of West Tennessee unites communities together to find strength and share hope. Together, we rally in hard times to meet people’s needs so they can rise back up and thrive.
Everyone should be able to make healthy choices for themselves and their families. But our rural communities in West Tennessee often face barriers when making such decisions. We intervene by partnering with local organizations that offer access to food and mental health services.
Addressing community needs extends beyond childhood. As our region continues to evolve, so must our future leaders. Therefore, we're committed to helping young people realize their full potential.
Even as our region grows, financial hurdles remain significant for many families. To ensure families thrive — not just survive — we partner with local banks, educational institutions, and nonprofits to establish the Greater Jackson Financial Empowerment Center.

We every believe every individual in every community deserves to thrive. We work with our neighbors to build resilient communities that are more connected, supportive, and ready to respond to any challenge.
