On The Level
A Few Words About Us
Our HistorY
The journey has taken us places we would not have anticipated in a short time!
- 2016 - Walking With Swager was officially formed and began serving the local community as needs arose.
- 2017 - We became an official 501(c)(3), coordinating volunteers at local events and serving the requests of 12 families in need.
- 2020 - Served as a community partner with local churches and nonprofits, distributing items following the 2020 Nashville tornado. Then shifted to COVID relief, running errands for homebound residents. Opened our first offices that Summer.
- 2021 - Following the Waverly floods, we coordinated with multiple organizations, regional and national, to provide resources during the initial recovery phase. Partnered with a local church to assist with resources and volunteer operations.
- 2022 - Served as local partner to Operation Blessing following December 2021 tornado outbreak. Simultaneously worked Longterm Recovery Projects in Waverly, TN, providing volunteer labor and/or resources to 7 homeowners. We also meet multiple service requests in Goodlettsville while serving tornado victims in Russelville, KY.
- 2023 - In one month, received more financial donations than in the entire 2017 fiscal year. Our service requests have gone from one per month to 1 or 2 weekly. Add to that, our blessing box program is expanding and our training programs and classes happen weekly. Moved from our first office into two offices in different locations and our first warehouse space. It's been a great year!
Through programs promoting Community Involvement, Family Development, Dream Empowerment, and Outreach Engagement, Walking With Swager ignites purpose in people to unite the societal divide within communities. The benefits for the community: Families Strengthened, Broken Lives Restored, Dreams Fulfilled, and Community Cooperation. Communities united in purpose across societal sectors.
By uniting the four primary segments of every community: Non-Profit, Church, Marketplace, and Government, the nation is effectively impacted. United we stand, divided we will fall.
Individuals accomplishing more than believed possible. Strong families with fathers and mothers engaged in the lives of their children.
Neighbors helping neighbors. Making a difference by working together to bring hope to our community. Providing assistance to those impacted by the unpredictable world in which we live.
Impacting the world through volunteer coordination and training; life skills workshops; Non-Profit development, cooperation, and networking; and disaster response.
