CORE PROGRAMS

NUTRITION PROGRAMS

Youth and Older Adults

We are dedicated to stepping up our efforts in addressing food insecurity. We do this by providing home-cooked meals to older adults 5 days a week. Through the Lunch Box Mobile Summer Food Program, we are providing fun and nutritious lunches to children in Hawkins County during the summer when school is not in session.

​

HOME REPAIR PROGRAM

Low-income Families and Older Adults in Hancock and Hawkins County, TN

Appalachia has experienced widespread and persistent poverty, which is why the Good Neighbor Home Repair Program is so vitally important to our region. Many individuals live in substandard housing conditions where there are still homes without plumbing and electricity, and where windows, flooring, and foundations are in disrepair.

​

Contact us to learn how your volunteer skilled or semi-skilled team can get involved: 423-921-8044.

HEAVEN'S BELL DIAPER PANTRY

Hawkins & Sullivan County, TN

Heaven's Bell is driven by a single goal: to do what we can, when we can to provide for and protect the most vulnerable members of our society: infants and toddlers.  We do that by providing diapers and educational resources free of charge to parents/legal guardians who demonstrate financial need.

CHRISTMAS FOR THE CHILDREN PROGRAM

Hawkins & Hancock County, TN

Every year, our community rallies together to provide Christmas parties and gifts for 1,300 children through the Christmas for the Children Program. Needy families and older adults also receive a Christmas food box packed with a turkey or ham and all the sides necessary for a delicious Christmas meal.

HUB FOR SERVICE PROJECTS & MISSION TEAMS

Local Impact

Our volunteers are diverse in their backgrounds & ages - professionals, retirees, students, church & civic groups, newcomers & lifelong residents.​ But the things that all our volunteers have in common is their heart to serve & spirit of generosity. Our teams host block parties & dental clinics, repair homes, deliver meals to older adults, or simply show their support by listening to the needs of others. 

​

You can give a few hours, a day, or a week of your time. We'll find the perfect match for you.
