Charity of the Month

With over 9,000 individuals in Knoxville accessing homeless services every year, there are many who are at risk of dying on the streets without specialized services focused on both achieving and sustaining housing.

Homelessness impacts all of us as there is both an economic and human cost to our community. A focus on housing reduces this economic and human cost and allows those experiencing homelessness the safety, stability, and security to heal and address the deeper issues that led to their homelessness.

Annually, 3,000 individuals walk through the doors of Volunteer Ministry Center (VMC) for services to help them either sustain their housing or to achieve housing.

 VMC’s programs support its two-fold mission of facilitating permanent supportive housing for those who are homeless and providing services to prevent homelessness. VMC operates several main programs: The VMC Resource Center, Rapid Rehousing, The Bush Family Refuge, Minvilla Manor & Caswell Manor, Street Outreach, and The VMC Dental Clinic.
