“We are very grateful to partner with the United Way of Rutherford and Cannon Counties again in 2016”, said Tim Bell, Chief Operating Officer for Cannon County Rescue Squad, “This funding will allow for our continued promotion of home fire prevention and youth safety. It will also allow us to promote safety in our rural communities and it will make Cannon County a better place to live and work.”
Funding decisions were based on the program’s impact on the community, the outcomes that the program is able to achieve and the program’s efficiency and effectiveness.
Randy Allen, Director of Community Impact for the United Way, said, “We are proud to support programs and initiatives to improve community conditions, and we look forward to continuing our efforts of expanding additional services, such as 2-1-1, Volunteer Income Tax Assistance and FamilyWize, to the Cannon County community.”
