Needs From: United Way of South Central Tennessee

We are seeking volunteers to help enhance the landscaping and overall appearance of our main office so it feels welcoming, beautiful, and uplifting for the families we serve. First impressions matter, and a clean, well-maintained outdoor space helps families feel respected and supported from the moment they arrive.

Our outdoor project includes installing landscape fabric/weed barriers, creating or refreshing flower beds, planting shrubs or flowers to improve curb appeal, and improving access to entryways with updated stepping stones or other safe pathway solutions. We also need someone to install our new mailbox (we have the mailbox and concrete). We ask that volunteer groups provide and donate all necessary landscaping materials, plants, and supplies needed to complete the project. (We already have the landscaping fabric).

This project can be done anytime during the week of April 20-25th, with advanced scheduling. Your support will help us create a safe, inviting environment where families feel comfortable and valued.

We are seeking volunteers to host donation drives to collect baby essentials for families with young children in our programs. Many of the families we serve are working to stabilize their lives and provide safe, nurturing homes for their children, and access to basic baby supplies can be a significant financial burden. Volunteer groups can make a meaningful difference by organizing workplace, school, church, or community donation drives to collect much-needed items such as:

These supplies are distributed directly to families with infants and toddlers, helping reduce stress and ensuring children have the care items they need to stay clean, healthy, and comfortable. By hosting a donation drive, volunteers help strengthen families and support healthy beginnings for our community’s youngest children.

Suggested set-up: Designate a collection spot at your office/church, share the list of needed items and how it supports local families served by TTT, and set a deadline for when items should be donated. After the deadline, schedule a time to deliver donations to our office, or we can come to you. We would love to take pictures to celebrate the efforts of your team's donation drive and give thanks through public recognition!
