Making an Impact: Williamson County

A look at our work.

Volunteer Income Tax Assistance
Each year, United Way volunteers help thousands of low-income and at-risk taxpayers prepare their taxes through the VITA free tax prep program. In 2021, we offered in-person and virtual VITA tax prep throughout Williamson County, including sites at the City of Fairview, GraceWorks Ministries and Spring Hill Public Library.

The Family Collective
Kids who experience homelessness face many obstacles to reaching their potential like lack of resources, frequent school changes, loss of school records and emotional stress. That’s why The Family Collective is preventing and ending family homelessness by connecting families to sustainable opportunities and disrupting cycles of poverty.

Imagination Library of Middle Tennessee
In partnership with the Governor’s Early Literacy Foundation and the Dollywood Foundation, Imagination Library of Middle Tennessee delivers an age-appropriate, high-quality book each month straight to Williamson County children’s mailboxes at no cost to families.

Raise Your Hand
Volunteer tutors work in Williamson County Schools and Franklin Special School District classrooms to help first- through fourth-grade students struggling with reading and math.

Williamson County Anti-Drug Coalition
We prevent substance abuse by building strong partnerships to help support a healthy, drug-free Williamson County. We implement effective strategies that prevent substance abuse among 14- to 18-year-olds with a focus on three main areas: binge drinking, tobacco abuse and prescription drug abuse.
