Local Ministries We Support
Coordinated Charities / click here for more info
Coordinated Charities is a private 501-C(3) non-profit social and human care agency created by area churches to provide limited emergency assistance to individuals in need. Area churches, the United Way of McMinn/Meigs County, Athens Utilities Board’s Warm Neighbor Fund, the Athens/ McMinn Ministerial Association, various civic organizations, and caring individuals have all coordinated their efforts in providing financial support for this organization. By having a centralized location it is the hope of all groups involved to provide assistance consistently and professionally. The ultimate goal is to make the best use of community resources and avoid duplication of services. Contributions given to the local United Way of McMinn County from individuals supports a large portion of the funding of Coordinated Charities’ functions, along with other organizations in our community like the Senior Center and the Good Faith Clinic.
