United Way’s Women’s Initiative was developed to further engage women in the community to give, advocate, and volunteer with United Way. The initiative chose Born Learning to be the benefactor of this year’s Christmas tree auction.
Born Learning’s goal is to inspire everyone who impacts young children to make the best possible decisions to boost school readiness. Born Learning aims to give each of them the tools to make long-lasting community change. On a local level, United Way endorses the Born Learning program by offering such resources as informational materials on healthy baby and child development to local hospitals and medical care providers.
The Readyville Mill is located at 5418 Murfreesboro Road, Readyville, TN 37149 and is open every Saturday from 8:00 AM to 12:30 PM for breakfast. More information regarding the tree auction can be found on United Way’s website, www.uwrutherford.org
