This year's Days of Action impacted the local community with 418 volunteers putting in 1,254 hours of service to complete 37 projects throughout Rutherford and Cannon counties.

Days of Action is an opportunity for individuals or teams in the community to complete projects that benefit United Way partners. Volunteers participate in activities such as refurbishing workspaces for children, delivering meals to homebound seniors, and miscellaneous house work to help nonprofits complete projects that need to be done. United Way focused on projects impacting the areas of education, health and financial stability.

This year's Days of Action was a partnership between Middle Tennessee State University's The Big Event and United Way with nearly 240 participating students.

Participating companies and organizations included: TriStar StoneCrest Medical Center, Atmos Energy, Middle Tennessee Electric Membership Corporation, Bridgestone, Guaranty Trust, Publix Super Markets, General Mills, Ingram, City of Murfreesboro Engineering Department, City Auto, Saint Thomas Rutherford Hospital, Miller Loughry Beach Insurance Services, Nissan, Murfreesboro Young Professionals, Heritage Farms Dairy, Kroger, Reeves-Sain, First Baptist Church and members from the United Way Catalyst Program.

No investor funding was used in the production of this event thanks to United Way's Days of Action Event Sponsors: City Auto, Miller Loughry Beach Insurance Services and Saint Thomas Rutherford Hospital.
