ANNUAL FUNDRAISER

Get Involved with our Annual Charity Golf Fundraiser


We Care remains a vital lifeline for those experiencing homelessness in Rhea County. The success of last year's golf event enabled us to complete our newest tiny home, expanding our capacity to provide shelter. In 2024, we assisted 113 individuals, offering them 2465 nights of safe and supportive accommodation. We urge you to consider supporting We Care through donations or by participating in our upcoming events. 100% of all proceeds directly fund homeless services and our ongoing efforts to build more affordable housing within our community. Our commitment to ending homelessness in Rhea County remains unwavering.
