We are thankful for our close partners at the Appalachian Regional Coalition on Homelessness! Their service to our unhoused neighbors is a blessing; they lead our region’s work to end homelessness, which is a crisis even here in Unicoi County.

Stephen and David met with Ben from Unicoi County Care & Share Ministry while doing outreach recently!

Care & Share provides assistance with food, clothing, and home essentials, as well as referral services to other area agencies serving our neighbors in Unicoi.

Thank you to Ben and the crew at Care & Share! 🤝❤️

We are thankful for the Knights of Columbus and all our friends of St. Michael the Archangel Catholic Parish! Their support of our ministry helps to meet our neighbors’ needs and bear witness to the Gospel of our Lord Jesus.

Giving back was the spirit of the day when the Knights of Columbus Catholic Men's fraternity, in association with the St. Michael the Archangel Catholic Church, donated $1,000 to Unicoi County Care and Share on May 18.

Here we grow (again)! Beginning in June, we will be open on Tuesdays for the first time, 9am-6pm. As the program that funded Families Free to be with us on Tuesdays is ending, it gives us the chance to be even more available to our neighbors.

We will also be ending our Saturday shift at the same time, given its minimal activity. Beginning Monday 6/1, our new hours will be Monday-Friday, 9am-6pm. But don’t worry! We are always open by appointment for urgent needs outside of these hours, including weekends and holidays.

We look forward to seeing you on Tuesdays and serving your needs whenever needs arise!

We are deeply grateful for our friend and brother, Priviledge Yesaya! In partnership with Emmanuel Christian Seminary at Milligan and First Christian Church, Erwin, TN, Priviledge has been serving as our Ministry Fellow for the past two years. His time in the program has come to an end, but his ministry is only beginning--his studies at Emmanuel continue and his work to share the Gospel here and back home in Zimbabwe is ongoing. Priviledge has been a delightful addition to our team and community and we know his time with us has blessed our neighbors.

Stay tuned for more information about our Ministry Fellowship program! Beginning in August, we will host two Fellows, and we look forward to the ministry they will help build in our community.
