Jeffrey Willis’ challenge accepted, met and far exceeded

Willis donated $10,000, Campbell Countians matched that $10,000 and much more

CAMPBELL COUNTY, TN (SPECIAL TO WLAF)- From the desk of Campbell County Mayor Jack Lynch:

Two weeks ago, Jeffrey Willis of United Rare Earths, Incorporated, challenged this community to match his generous donation of $10,000 for the food banks and senior citizen meals.

The citizens of Campbell County not only matched but doubled the challenge. As of today, the East Tennessee Foundation has received $30,800 for the Campbell County Food Drive. I personally and publicly want to thank Jeffrey Willis and his team at United Rare Earths, Jay Willoughby, Chairman of the Joint Economic Development Board, and all the generous citizens, businesses, and churches that donated.

Once again, the caring and loving citizens of Campbell County have risen to the challenge to help their neighbors. (WLAF NEWS PUBLISHED-11/21/2025-1PM)
