Together, ORNL FCU employees raised over $95,000 during the annual campaign. Over the last five years, ORNL FCU employees have raised over $500,000 for the United Way.

The campaign was led by internal advocates who brought inspiration and energy to the fundraising efforts.

Over the past 10 years, Subaru and its retailers have helped Meals on Wheels to deliver nearly two million meals nationwide to seniors in need through their Subaru Share the Love Event.

The tnAchieves program still needs nearly 1,400 mentors across the state.

Mentors support local TN Promise applicants transition from high school to college. 

Mentors remind students of important deadlines, serve as a trusted college resource and, most importantly, encourage students to reach their full potential.

AARP Foundation Tax-Aide — the nation’s largest free tax preparation and assistance service — is now seeking volunteers for the 2018 tax season.

Volunteers don’t have to be an AARP member to volunteer or have any experience doing taxes. They just need a desire to help others.

Tax volunteers receive free tax training in January and once certified, they work a minimum of four hours a week during tax season, interacting with clients by preparing their tax returns. We need volunteers for Blount, Sevier, Loudon, Roane, and Monroe counties.
