Knoxville - Knox County Community Action Committee

06/19/2026

Today, we honor Juneteenth — a day that reminds us of the meaning of freedom, the strength of those who endured, and the work that still calls us forward.

At CAC, community action is rooted in the belief that every person deserves dignity, opportunity, and the support to thrive.

As we reflect on this day, we also recognize the importance of continuing to build a stronger, more just community where hope is matched by action and where all people have the chance to move forward.

CAC’s Housing and Energy Director, Jeffrey Vincent, spoke this week at the THDA Weatherization Assistance Program Annual Kickoff Conference in Burns, Tennessee at the Lodge at Montgomery Bell.

Jeffrey’s presentation, “CAC Production Success: Managing Capacity, Funding and Contractor Performance,” which was part of THDA’s “Best Practices” session, highlighted the strong work, strategy, and coordination behind CAC’s successful weatherization efforts.

We’re proud to see CAC represented in conversations that help strengthen weatherization programs across Tennessee and support safer, healthier, more energy-efficient homes for the families we serve.

Small acts of service create a big impact. Join Mobile Meals this summer and help deliver nutritious meals and caring connections to homebound seniors throughout Knox County.

Looking for a meaningful way to give back this summer? Mobile Meals is in need of volunteers to deliver meals to homebound seniors across Knox County now through August. Routes are available every weekday, take about 2 hours to complete, and can be scheduled based on your availability, whether that's once a week, once a month, or just a few times during the summer.

Volunteering is flexible, onboarding is quick, and the impact is immediate. To get started, fill out our application here: https://forms.cloud.microsoft/r/MTMNLQygxr
