Entrusted with the responsibility of multiplying resources that optimize impact in Williamson County, United Way facilitates the citizens review panels where community volunteers conduct reviews of health and human service agencies requesting funding. Currently 42 programs serving Williamson County receive 1.85 million in funding. Donor designations to other non-profit agencies or United ways throughout the annual United Way campaign, donors may choose to directly designate a portion of their gifts to a specific agency or United Way in another community.

In 2018, donor designated gifts resulted in 1.5 million additional funds for these agencies and United ways. Raise your hand (ryh raise your hand (ryh) is a collaborative project between United Way of Williamson County (uwwc), franklin special school district (fssd) and Williamson County school district (wcs) that offers tutoring to first, second, third and fourth grade students scoring in the bottom 40% in reading and math. Tutoring, snacks, background checks, and transportation are all provided through grant funding. In Williamson County, transportation is a barrier for the majority of students. So providing that service is one of the most important aspects to our after- school tutoring program. Uwwc recruits volunteers to help in the classroom after school and provides training for teachers and volunteers. For the 2018-2019 school year, 124 ryh volunteers provided tutoring for 442 students with school testing results showing 96% of students improved in reading and 100% of students improved in math. Summer of 2019, ryh partnered with fssd and wcs districts to provide funding for 3 libraries (westwood, liberty and chapman's retreat elementary schools) to be open 4 hours per week for six weeks. This partnership targeted reduction of the 'summer slide'. United Way continues to look for new collaborations to bring enhancements to the program.

Wcadc initiated drug take back days in cooperation with local law enforcement. These events are scheduled twice each year and 919 lbs. of unused/expired medications were taken back during fiscal year 2018-19. Permanent drop boxes are available year round at the nolensville police department, fairview police department, brentwood police department, spring hill police department and Williamson County sheriff's office. Wcadc worked with over 12,000 students at area middle and high schools on prevention events this past year.

Over 2,000 area citizens participated in one of these events during fy 2018-19 and over 300 lockboxes were distributed. Wcadc hired a regional overdose prevention specialist (rops) in early 2019. Rops are located throughout the state of Tennessee as a point of contact for training and education on opioid overdose and for overdose prevention through the distribution of naloxone. This position covers Williamson, rutherford, cannon, trousdale and wilson counties.
