United Way of Greater Knoxville

We were excited to partner with Tennessee Valley Authority and Knoxville Utilities Board to share about sustainability opportunities for low and moderate income residents. Over 50 local professionals from more than 10 organizations joined to hear about sustainability resources and participate in discussions about residential energy efficiency, renewable energy options and how we can help communities access and navigate available resources. We want thank you to our co-hosts, KUB and TVA. We also want to say a big thank you to United Way, who joined to share about United Way's innovative community resiliency strategies.

We want to say a big thank you to the Oak Ridge National Laboratory for hosting the travelling science fair for our Community Schools students! This exciting opportunity brought STEM to life for many young learners. Students got to explore quantum computers, gravity experiments, microscopic fidget spinners and more. Thanks for sharing this amazing opportunity with local children, ORNL!

Shoutout to Knoxville Utilities Board for going the extra mile during their workplace campaign! They took a team of volunteers out to tour and serve with one of our community investment partners. Thanks for your commitment to giving back, KUB! #UnitedWeCan
