Knoxville Area Project Access (KAPA)

06/19/2026

The KAPA Kitchen is need of hygiene products to help families stay healthy and cared for. While food is essential, personal care items are just as important—and often harder for families to afford.
🧼 We’re collecting items such as:
Soap & body wash
Shampoo & conditioner
Deodorant
Razors & shaving cream
Toothpaste & toothbrushes
Toilet paper
Every donation—big or small—makes a meaningful difference. 💙
📍 Drop-off location: 9032 Cross Park Drive at the KAPA Kitchen

HELP!!! VOLUNTEERS NEEDED!

As summer arrives, many of our regular student volunteers are away from school, leaving a critical gap in the support that keeps the KAPA Kitchen running smoothly.
We're calling on businesses, civic groups, churches, organizations, clubs, and community teams to step up and lend a hand this summer! Whether you can volunteer for a few hours, a day, or organize a group service project, your support will make a real difference for families facing food insecurity in our community.
Every volunteer helps us sort donations, stock shelves, prepare food distributions, and ensure that our neighbors have access to the nutritious food they need.
🤝 Gather your coworkers, members, friends, or team and join us!
📞 To schedule a volunteer opportunity or learn more, contact Kandice at 865-531-2766, ext. 2550.
Together, we can keep the KAPA Kitchen serving those who need us most all summer long.

Last week, YPK members showed up to support the KAPA Kitchen Food Pantry here in Knoxville 💛

From taking inventory and labeling goods to bagging spices and organizing supplies, this group did it all to support an invaluable community resource.
