Knoxville Area Project Access (KAPA) is looking for volunteers this summer as student volunteers head out of school.

A great opportunity for businesses, groups, and community members to step in and help support families facing food insecurity.

Start here: https://volunteeretn.galaxydigital.com/need/detail/?need_id=1162770

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.

We appreciate all that Knox County Public Library does for Dolly Parton's Imagination Library of Knox County and our community!

Thank Knox County Public Library and volunteer this Saturday at World’s Fair Park: https://volunteeretn.galaxydigital.com/need/detail/?need_id=1237712

Here at Imagination Library of Knox County, we have THE most amazing partnerships in the entire world (We might be slightly biased, though.) Today, as we head into the week of Knox County Public Library 's Children's Festival of Reading, we'd like to take a second to say thank you to KCPL and Knox County. Did you know that Knox County pays for all of our overhead? Our space, our personnel salary, our databases and our supplies. This means that 96 cents of every dollar you donate to Dolly Parton's Imagination Library goes STRAIGHT to books and mailing to Knox County's smallest readers. We couldn't do it without you, Knox County and KCPL!
