KARM Camp Out

On April 26-27, our team of businesses will be camping out at the World's Fair Park to raise awareness about homelessness in Knoxville. Have you seen the video yet? Learn more here. Grab your gear and join us!


Help Stop Homelessness & Start Restoration

KARM Camp Out
You still have time to get involved several different ways. We invite you to:

  • Join our team for only $20 and camp out with us. Go TEAM TLC!
  • Don't want to spend the night? Come on over to the Friday night festivities for only $10 at the gate. See the event schedule.
  • Make donations to Team TLC in support of Knox Area Rescue Ministries. Have you heard about our Twin Challenge, a matching gift initiative (runs through Friday)? Details below.
  • Collect items from KARM's needs list for our TLC Care Packages. See list below. You may bring these to the office or the KARM Camp Out event on Friday.

Team TLC is at the top of the fundraising efforts so far. Help us reach our goal of $1000 to support KARM. Every gift counts! If you would like to get involved, either by donating money or camping out with us, go to www.karm.org/campout and click "Team TLC" in the right margin. Thank you!

Twin Challenge: TLC Matching Gift Initiative

Twin ChallengeBlake and Wesley are at it again! Through Friday, Blake and Wesley will match up to $88 (cost to feed and shelter one person per week at KARM) of your donations. That means we can raise another $176 or MORE for KARM!

Here's how... Go to our Team TLC page, click Blake or Wesley's name, and submit your donation. Whether you give $5 or $88, it is much appreciated. Let's make a big impact together. We double dare you! Ready, Set, Give!


TLC Cares: Donate Items for TLC Care Packages

TLC Care PackageWe are asking that you help us collect items on KARM's immediate needs list (at left) for our TLC Care Packages. We will be assembling these items at the event. You know all those unused hotel, travel-sized hygiene items you have stashed in your bathroom closet? We could use those too! Please drop off your items at the Legacy Centre office before Friday or bring them with you to the event. TLC wishes to thank HD Supply for donating a whole case of shampoo...and Kim Taylor of Corporate Quarters for making the ask. Support Team TLC
