Needs From: Volunteer United

Join us for the 45th running of YWCA Northeast Tennessee and Southwest Virginia’s Turkey Trot 5K! This year’s theme is “Equal. Powerful. Unstoppable.” All proceeds benefit the programs of the YWCA promoting women's health and safety. Volunteers will provide safety, assist runners in staying on course, provide water, and serve as strong supporters for a great cause. 

We are in temporary need of assistance at our front desk. Volunteers would answer the phone, transfer calls, and assist with security/opening the door to allow parents of our daycare children and staff entry to the building.
