advanCinG tHe Common

G o o dUnited Way of Blount County works to advance

the common good by focusing on the issues of

education, self-sufficiency, and health.

Local volunteers identified that these are the

building blocks for a good life – a quality

education that leads to a stable job, self-

sufficiency that supports a family through

retirement, and good health.

Our goal is to create long-lasting changes

that prevent problems from happening in the

first place, but also to address basic needs.

We invite you to be a part of the change.

Together, united, we can inspire hope and

create opportunities for a better tomorrow.
