On Thursday, August 14, 2025, United Way of Sumner County (UWSC) gathered over 200 community leaders, businesses, donors, advocates, and volunteers for our annual Community Impact Breakfast. This inspiring event celebrated the power of giving, advocacy, and volunteerism while honoring those who make a lasting difference in the lives of our neighbors.
 

United Way Agency, Gallatin Shalom Zone, recently shared this success story about a participant in their Children & Youth Programs:

At United Way of Sumner County, we believe lasting change starts with local action, and that no single organization can do it all alone. That’s where the Community Fund comes in.

United Way of Sumner County is thrilled to announce that because of the generosity of our donors and supporters, there will an impact to the greater community of almost $597,000 for the 2025-2026 grant year with over $531,000 going to our partner agencies! 

Advocating for Dignity and Mobility:

At the heart of the Ombudsman Program is a commitment to protecting the rights and dignity of residents in long-term care facilities. One recent story from Mid-Cumberland Human Resource Agency shows just how powerful that advocacy can be.

At United Way of Sumner County, we believe that every volunteer has a story worth sharing. That’s why each month we feature Volunteer Voices, highlighting the "why" behind our volunteers' dedication to our mission.

At United Way of Sumner County, strong leadership is key to our ability to drive lasting change in our community. During our annual Board of Directors meeting held in June, we approved new leadership roles and celebrated the dedication of those who have helped guide our work.

At United Way of Sumner County, we believe in the power of local voices to inspire action and build community. In this month’s Volunteer Voices feature, we’re honored to share the words of Sherri Ferguson, a dedicated volunteer whose commitment to service reflects the very heart of our mission.

After undergoing surgery last fall, one Westmoreland Senior Center member faced ongoing health challenges that made it difficult to leave home. For months, she only visited the Center occasionally, as her strength allowed.
