Community Fund Grants have been used to buy new handicap accessible playground equipment for James Knox Park, restock our local food pantries, support FFA projects, help fund the Community Building at the Knox County Fairgrounds, and support a Caregivers Program through the VNA - JUST TO NAME A FEW!

Teacher Mini-Grants have been used for classroom supplies, immersive classroom projects, and the acquisition of much needed resources that fall outside the budget!

The Knoxville Community Fund Advisory Board was invited to attend the annual Knoxville FFA Annual Banquet last night. WHAT AN INCREDIBLE PROGRAM!

Your Knoxville Community Fund made a grant to support the creation of a student orchard that will allow the FFA students to plant, grow, and take fruit trees and bushes all the way from farm to table. We were also able to support the purchase of a new FFA van that will allow these hardworking students to get to and from their many events more easily.

FFA is alive and well in Knoxville...the 320 students, parents, and community members who showed up in support last night are proof of that 🌽

If you've ever donated to the Knoxville Community Fund, this 'thank you' we received is for you too. This is the kind of project our funds support...making food available 24/7 for Knoxville residents. The last line got me..."The Little Food Pantry is restocked four to five times daily."

There is a need, and your generosity sees that it's met. Our return thanks to Grace Lutheran Church for keeping the items well stocked! If you want to do good, right here in your community, visit the link in the comments to donate.
