"I am a 52-year-old husband, father, brother and son. I have lived in Gallatin for the past several years, and over the course of those years I have held several odd jobs. I like to work with my hands, and I am not afraid to work hard. In doing so, I haven't taken very good care of my body. Ultimately, I was diagnosed with two lifelong medical issues. These issues have landed me in the hospital for months at a time and caused me to lose several jobs. 

No one loves doing their taxes. But this year, it’s easier than ever if you use My Free Taxes. 

That’s United Way’s free, online tax filing program. It lets U.S. tax filers who earned less than $84K last year file their federal and state taxes online -- for free. Since 2009, My Free Taxes has helped 1.45M people across America save $290M in tax prep fees and receive over $2.1B in refunds. 

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

At United Way of Sumner County (UWSC), we often witness stories that reveal the quiet yet profound struggles of our neighbors.

Community Resource Center (CRC), one of UWSC's newest Funded Partner Agencies, recently shared a moment that underscores the importance of their work—and why we remain committed to supporting programs that address basic needs.  (CRC supplies local Sumner County hygiene pantries with a wide range of hygiene items to be distributed free of charge to individuals facing economic hardships, crises, and transitional periods.)  

The 2024 United We Feed Drive made an incredible impact thanks to YOU!
