THANK YOU GREATER KNOXVILLE!
We knew this past Christmas season would be difficult. We knew we would face challenges with everything that is happening in the world. So, we made adjustments and our generous community stepped up and went the extra mile for those in need in greater Knoxville.
Angel Tree donors were able to shift from collecting tags from trees to purchasing gifts from an online registry. Thanks to them, over 1,500 children and 200 senior citizens were able to open gifts Christmas morning.
You probably heard the sound of our traditional bells less this year. However, our volunteers gave of their time, donating hundreds of hours ringing the bells for us, allowing donors across our communities to show their support to our mission at the physical kettles and through the virtual red kettles.
For all of this, we want to say, “Thank You.” Because of you, we will support hundreds of families and individuals in our programs this year.
We will continue to face adversities and uncertainties in the coming year. We are incredibly grateful for the steady support of our generous community!
God bless you.
