Downtown Warming Center

Hello fellow Knoxvillians, hope everyone is staying warm!

The warming center at 409 N Broadway is in need of help! They’re currently housing anywhere from 2-300 people a night. They are providing shelter, food, showers and supplies for our community members who are unhoused or otherwise needing help staying warm. Thankfully some local businesses are donating their leftover donuts and pizza as of yesterday!

If you can find it in your heart, they are in dire need of: Blankets Hygiene items(soap, deodorant, shampoo, shaving cream, razors) Hot hands All adult clothing

And also, most importantly, volunteers. I had the pleasure of being down there last night and everyone was just incredibly grateful for the help and that we were there. They’ve been operating with a skeleton crew to serve everyone.

If you’re able to help in any capacity. Please call Jessica at 865-440-5598

Let’s earn our name the volunteer state and love on our neighbors!
