Volunteer Ministry Center (VMC) is asking the Knoxville community to join us in the Under the Tree Holiday Drive by collecting needed items as we strive to brighten the holiday season for those that we directly serve to either achieve or sustain their housing.
Since VMC’s mission is to end and prevent homelessness in Knoxville, the Under the Tree Holiday Drive serves those who are either working to achieve housing through VMC’s housing case management programs, the Resource Center and Rapid Rehousing, or those who have achieved their goal of housing at VMC’s Permanent Supportive Housing developments, Minvilla Manor & Caswell Manor.
See the list of requested items. Once items are collected, mark them for Under the Tree Holiday Drive and drop off by December 13, at VMC’s main office at 511 N Broadway, Knoxville, TN 37917.
Drop off times are Monday through Thursday 8 a.m.- 5 p.m. and Friday 8 a.m.- 3 p.m.
Requested items:
- Sweatpants and shirts
- Pullovers with hoods
- Socks
- Underwear
- Sports bras
- Hats
- Gloves
- Assorted hygiene products
- Shampoo for different types of hair
- Bodywash
- Body lotion
- Adult coloring books
