The United Way Volunteer Center has set up a call center to coordinate
volunteer requests among the various churches and disaster relief
agencies operating locally, and then match those requests to volunteers
who want to help their neighbors as quickly as possible. Not only is the
Volunteer Center referring individual volunteers, but also companies and
organizations that want to volunteer as a group.

Personnel with United Way's Volunteer Center and 2-1-1 Call Resource
Center have been out in the field and on the phone lines coordinating
both service needs and availability and working to link volunteer
requests to available volunteers.

The Volunteer Center will also coordinate in-kind donation requests
among relief organizations and volunteer groups and put them in touch
with individuals, organizations or companies which have the ability to
donate material goods that are needed as part of the disaster recovery
process.

If you want to volunteer or donate, or if your organization needs
volunteers or in-kind donations, call United Way's Volunteer Center. To
reach the Volunteer Center, call Windy Brooks at 423-752-0316 or call
Sheila Moore at 423-752-0351.

United Way's 2-1-1 continues to take regular calls for assistance, as
well as calls related to family and individual needs resulting from the
recent disaster. You can also reach 2-1-1 by calling 423-265-8000 or
1-866-921-3035.
