There are thousands of people within walking distance of Knoxville, also the struggle for the basic needs of children every day can be done. Most of these people want to worksupport their families so many of us take for granted. However, this is an area of extreme poverty, with few jobs available and many needs. This is the year 13 of our Christmas campaign. The first year in 1996, we were able to provide 150 children and last year more than 16,000 children and their families were assisted with food, new clothes, toiletries, new toys and more.
