United Way launches program to help Clarksville residents hit by COVID struggles

Clarksville Now CLARKSVILLE, TN – United Way of the Greater Clarksville Region has launched the Residence CARES Relief Fund program, which will be available immediately to residents of Clarksville-Montgomery County. “Sometimes just a little help can prevent a bigger problem for a family in these uncertain times due to Covid-19,” said Valerie Guzman, chief executive officer of the United Way of the Greater Clarksville Region.
