LYNCHBURG — United Way of South Central Tennessee recently received a gift of $5,000 from the Jack Daniel Distillery to support the programs and initiatives taking place in South Central Tennessee, including Moore County. Jack Daniel’s has been a long-standing supporter of the local United Way and its mission to improve lives by advancing opportunities for education, health, and financial stability for all.

The South Central office services Moore, Bedford, Cannon, Coffee, Lincoln, Rutherford, and Warren counties.

“We want to say a huge thank you to Jack Daniels for their continued support which impacts many missions, programs, and services in our community. Because of donations like these, we can continue our work and we are incredibly grateful,” Regional Director Ashley Abraham said.

In addition to this monetary contribution, Jack Daniels also hosts United Way’s signature event, United in Spirits, on BBQ Hill each year. The event will be back for another exciting year on Saturday, June 13, 2026.
