The Salvation Army of Knoxville Urges Community Support for Year-End Giving
As the year comes to a close, The Salvation Army of Knoxville is urging community members to give generously, ensuring their neighbors in need receive help not just during the holidays but all year long. Donations this year will help ensure The Salvation Army can continue to provide food, shelter, rent and utility assistance, rehabilitation, and other critical services in 2025.
People across America are struggling:
- The number of those experiencing homelessness has increased by double digits.
- The cost of food has increased due to rising inflation.
- Nearly 1 in 3 adults report they are “finding it difficult to get by” financially.
- The U.S. has seen 24 natural disasters with losses of $1 billion each this year, impacting the lives of millions.
In Knoxville, your contribution can help fund essential programs and services such as emergency shelter, homelessness prevention programs, disaster relief, and so much more.
“Every donation is a message of hope to those facing hardships,” said Major Cameron Henderson, Area Commander for The Salvation Army of Knoxville. “It is inspiring to see the community here helping those in need. Whether it is a gift of a meal, warm clothes, or simply their time, it is all possible because of the donations and volunteers we have here in Knoxville who care so deeply about their community.”
Financial gifts donated to The Salvation Army of Knoxville stay local to support the community’s needs. Whether it is $5, $25, or more, every contribution has a significant impact on individuals and families by providing them with essential programs and services.
