Knox County Mayor Glenn Jacobs, Mission of Hope, and Knoxville Wholesale Furniture have teamed up to host a canned food drive this Saturday, Oct. 5, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Knoxville Wholesale Furniture Clearance Center, located at 7428 Kingston Pike, Knoxville, TN 37919.
“This food drive is an opportunity for our community to come together and support our neighbors who are facing challenging circumstances,” said Mayor Jacobs.
The event will accept only canned goods, bottled waters, and non-perishable items. Please check expiration dates before donating. Mayor Jacobs and other volunteers will be on-site to collect donations and ensure that all contributions are properly distributed to the flood victims.
“Every contribution, no matter how small, will make a significant difference,” Mayor Jacobs added.
