We were excited to welcome Frank Cuevas, Vice Chancellor for Student Life at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, to Wesley House today!

While Vice Chancellor Cuevas is certainly no stranger to Wesley House, it was great to show him the many renovations and improvements that have taken place.

We look forward to growing our partnership! ❤️🖤🧡🤍

May is Mental Health Awareness Month, and our staff proudly wore green to support this important initiative. 💚

The same way we show up each day to support the wellbeing of our youth, senior citizens, and families, we also recognize the importance of supporting one another. At Wesley House, people will always be at the heart of the work we do.

Dear Friend,

We are excited to invite you to be part of something meaningful—the Red Bird Movement. This growing community is all about bringing hope, connection, and tangible support to children and families we serve.

Getting involved is simple and impactful:

• Make a donation at any level that feels right for you

• Share the mission with your network and invite others to join (creating your own page is easy, if you need help feel free to reach out to [email protected] for help)

• Stay connected as we celebrate stories of impact together

Every act of generosity helps us extend care, opportunity, and resources where they are needed most.

We will send more ideas and message templates over the next few weeks so you can participate and easily invite your friends and family to be part of this movement.

To help you get started, here’s a simple message you can copy and share with friends:

We are incredibly grateful for the time, wisdom, and heart they poured into Wesley House. Thank you for helping us continue the work of serving others well. ❤️

🐦✨ Introducing the Red Bird Movement at Wesley House
We’re inviting our community to come together as Friends of Wesley—people who believe in connection, generosity, and showing up for one another.
If you’ve ever wanted to share why Wesley House matters to you, this is your moment. As a peer-to-peer participant, you’ll help us build something new—while we provide everything you need along the way: sample messages, simple tools, and staff encouragement every step of the journey. You won’t be doing this alone.
❤ Your “yes” helps show others that this movement is worth showing up for.
📩 Ready to get started?
Email [email protected] to join the Red Bird Movement.
🎉 Then celebrate with us at the Friends of Wesley Breakfast on June 26 as we launch this exciting new chapter together.
Let’s build something meaningful—together.
