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.
What to expect

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.

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.
