Food pantry & assistance

How to get help

Call to set an appointment on a Tuesday or Thursday. If you need food today, we will send you home with an emergency box.

Four steps

What to expect

Make an appointment

Call to set an appointment on Tuesday or Thursday. Call (423) 530-7156 or come in to set your appointment between 10:30 and 3:00. Due to great need in our community, expect a small wait.

Show up on time

Due to our process, your appointment may take a few hours. Please plan for that when you come.

Be sure to bring ID

First-time clients will need to bring a photo identification. A list of other things will be given to you for your next visit.

Emergency food boxes

If you are needing food we will be happy to supply you with an emergency food box, along with an appointment, one time a year.

Need help with an energy bill?

Every box of food starts with someone who gave

Hope Helps TN is run entirely by volunteers. Your time, your goods, and your gifts go straight to neighbours in Hawkins County who need them.
