KNOXVILLE, TN
expand your neighborhood in KNOXVILLE, TN
Located on the western slopes of the Smoky Mountains, Knoxville Tennessee is a beautiful city with fantastic southern food, a warm and friendly culture, and an increasing poverty rate.
Many families in the Knoxville community live with critical home repair needs. Most people within the Knoxville city limits cannot afford the cost to purchase the material, hire contractors, nor can they perform the repairs themselves.
It is our mission to partner with local churches to serve these families in need by doing work projects a means to building Christ-centered relationships between the Knoxville locals and the neighboring churches.
Why we love serving jesus in this neighborhood
