On Friday 3/3, The United Way of Knox County hosted their Annual Meeting. It was a time of celebration of a successful 2022 Campaign.
WNZR's Marcy Rinehart spoke with Executive Director, Kelly Brenneman. She shared her thoughts on the 2022 Campaign. The anticipated total for 2022 will be close to $1.1 million dollars!
Kelly also talked about her upcoming retirement and shared her heartfelt thanks to the incredibly generous Knox County residents.

Marcy also talked with Halle Krajenski, United Way Program Director. The United Way funds support many agencies and organizations in our community. All recipients fall into 3 pillars: Education, Financial Stability and Health.
Halle broke down the funds given to each pillar and shared some powerful examples of how United Way dollars are directly impacting families in our community.

Halle also shared exciting news about Women United and the over $120,00 raised for programs supporting women and children in Knox County at the annual Power of the Purse event. 
Halle shared some exciting news about the Women United Grants including the NEW Champions in the Classroom Grants given out in 2022. 
Halle also shared an exciting report about another United Way Program - Dolly Parton's Imagination Library. When 2022 wrapped up, Knox County had reached 58% of children receiving FREE books!
Halle also shared details about the United Way’s Tax Assistance program and how it helps families. She talks about how the program works and how they’ve saved filers $93,000 in filing fees.
