United Way Announces Additions to Executive Leadership Team

At its brand refresh launch party, United Way West Tennessee recognized new additions to its executive leadership team as the organization continues to grow and expand its impact across the region. Lauren Kirk has been selected as United Way’s new Executive Vice President of

Community Impact and Melissa Cox-Brown will serve as the Executive Director for the recently announced Ford Community Center in Stanton, Tennessee.

Financial Security

Even as our region grows, financial hurdles remain significant for many families. To ensure families thrive — not just survive — we partner with local banks, educational institutions, and nonprofits to establish the Greater Jackson Financial Empowerment Center. Here, individuals can access free financial counseling, learn budgeting strategies, and pursue pathways to bigger dreams like home ownership or entrepreneurship. 

Healthy Community

Everyone should be able to make healthy choices for themselves and their families. But our rural communities in West Tennessee often face barriers when making such decisions. We intervene by partnering with local organizations that offer access to food and mental health services.
