Across Tennessee, financial hardship looks different from one county to the next. But in every community, households are working hard and still struggling to afford the basics.

That’s why the data matters. By measuring households in poverty and ALICE households with income above the poverty level but still unable to afford basics, the data paints a more complete picture of financial hardship statewide.

And that picture helps local leaders and organizations respond with data-driven solutions that will benefit every community.

Labor Day is all about celebrating the workforce, and the best way to honor hard work is to take a real break from it. So to celebrate, our team is fully committing to the cause by penciling some cat naps into our schedules this weekend.

A quick heads-up: The office is closed on Monday, September 7th. We will be back on Tuesday, September 8th — recharged, refreshed, and ready to get to work.

We hope you have a long weekend full of good food, good company, and zero emails!

Yesterday, United Ways from across our region came together for an inspiring Regional United Way Kickoff, hosted by our friends at the United Way of Greater Kingsport! ❤️

It was a wonderful opportunity to celebrate the impact we can make when we work together, share ideas, and recommit to our shared mission of strengthening communities and helping our neighbors thrive.

We are grateful for all of the United Way board members, volunteers, staff members, donors, and community leaders who continue to believe that United is the Way!

Here’s to another campaign season filled with purpose, partnership, and making a difference—together! 🙌
