The Vol Promise

Who we are:
Hello supporters! Our names are Taylor Pirrello, Lucciana Ricelli, Olivia Burghard, and Brendan Coad. As students at the University of Tennessee, we want to support our local non-profit organizations. An organization that resonated with us was the Family Promise of Knoxville. Our group is very passionate about helping Family Promise and asks for your financial support. We hope your financial support can help fund programming that ensures a stable living environment for those in need.
Family Promise was founded in 2005 and is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that strives to help low-income families as well as homeless people in the area. They help families address root causes that are affecting homelessness, as well as help them rebuild their lives. Their mission is to provide a community-based response that empowers and equips families experiencing homelessness and housing-instability to achieve sustainable independence. They work in East Tennessee specifically to support parents in building a better future for their families.
What we need:
Our goal is to raise around $1,000 for Family Promise of Knoxville. This money would directly help homeless and low-income families in need. We are asking for any way to give back to the community in need and anything that will bring them light in such a difficult time. We receive donations that aren't just money, but supplies such as toiletries, feminine products, diapers, gift cards, laundry supplies, canned foods, and infinitely more.
How it helps:
The impact of your funding will have a rippling affect to the community and encourage others to jump on the bandwagon of spreading awareness. It is exciting to see how much just a simple donation can leave long-lasting benefits for these families in need. Since Family Promise of Knoxville is a non-profit organization, there is only so much they can do.
How else you can help:
If donating isn’t an option for you, there are other ways to support and help our community.
