Partnership will enhance resources, expand reach and strengthen the ability to serve those in need across the region

The United Way of Highway 55 (UWH) has merged with United Way of South-Central Tennessee (UWS). The McMinnville–Warren County Chamber of Commerce recently held a ribbon cutting to celebrate.

“This partnership unites two powerful organizations to strengthen our communities and extend their positive impact even further,” according to the Chamber.

UWH 55 was founded locally in 2000 to support education, financial stability, health and basic essentials for thousands of individuals in Coffee, Moore and Warren counties, according to a release.

“This partnership will allow us to have access to more internal resources, as well as increased opportunities to apply for state and federal funding that might not have been tapped into before,” said United Way of Highway 55 Board Chair, Michele Simmons. “We are honored to be a part of United Way of South-Central Tennessee and to continue the legacy of impact in our local area on an even larger scale.”

The partnership will enhance resources, expand reach and strengthen the ability to serve those in need across the region.

“We are thrilled to share the partnership between the United Way of South Central Tennessee (UWSCTN) and the Highway 55 United Way. With a larger regional footprint, our potential for resource development and outreach will benefit even more individuals and families that need assistance from our United Way,” said UWSCTN Board Chair, Casey Rainey. “The organizations’ shared vision is to improve lives and strengthen communities through impactful initiatives in education, financial stability and health. Together, UWSCTN will be better equipped to address the evolving needs of the community and create lasting change.”
