Helping Knoxville Families Through Crisis

Across America, millions of families are facing an unprecedented struggle. With the government shutdown halting key support programs like SNAP/EBT (food assistance), countless parents are left wondering how they’ll feed their children or afford essentials like baby formula, water, and diapers.

Here in Knoxville, Tennessee, over 40,000 individuals rely on SNAP benefits — and with the system under pressure, our community needs us now more than ever.


Our Mission

We’ve launched this campaign to help local families in urgent need by providing:
• Nutritious food for children and families struggling with food insecurity
• Baby formula for infants who depend on it
• Clean bottled water for safe hydration
• Diapers and baby essentials to relieve parents in crisis

Every donation — big or small — goes directly to families right here in Knoxville and surrounding communities.


Transparency You Can Trust

We believe trust is built through honesty and action. That’s why we promise:
• ✅ Daily updates on campaign progress and funds raised
• Photos and stories (with permission) of families receiving assistance
• Milestone tracking so donors can see exactly how their contributions make a difference

This isn’t charity from afar — this is neighbors helping neighbors, hand in hand.


Why It Matters

When the government shuts down, the people don’t have to.
Together, we can ensure no child in Knoxville goes hungry, and no parent has to choose between feeding their family or keeping the lights on.

Your donation — whether $5 or $500 — creates real, visible change.
It means full plates, fed babies, clean water, and peace of mind for struggling parents.


❤️ Join Us — Be the Difference

We all have a part to play. When we give together, we rise together.
Let’s show that Knoxville takes care of its own — through compassion, action, and unity.

Every dollar counts. Every share matters. Every family deserves hope.

Donate now to help Knoxville families in need. Together, we can make a difference.
