Help us welcome our newest refugee neighbors to Knoxville!  We need volunteers with trucks, trailers, or tow equipment to help us pick up furniture donations from week-to-week!

One of our missions at Bridge Refugee Services is to provide safe, affordable, and furnished housing for our arriving refugee families.  We are largely dependent upon in-kind donations of gently used furniture from the community to set up a new home for our refugee families.  Sadly, we are missing out on a lot of donations because our organization is unable to do furniture pick-ups.  

We are looking for hero volunteers with weekday availability and vehicles that can transport couches, loveseats, dressers, dining tables, nightstands, end tables, and other basic types of furniture!  

Furniture pick-ups will generally happen on an as-needed basis usually during Bridge office hours, 8:30-5:30 M-F, and furniture will need to be transported to our off-site storage unit on Western Ave.

Bridge Refugee Services is expecting to welcome a record number of refugees to Knoxville this year, and we cannot do this without community support.  We are always looking to restock our supply of donations of household goods and furniture to provide material support for our refugee families arriving all year long.  

I would like to invite both individuals and groups to assist us through in-kind donation drives for household goods to help us in new home set-ups for our newest neighbors.  Pillows, bedding, fresh towels and washcloths, toiletries, laundry detergent, kitchen trash cans, dishes and cookware, cleaning supplies, school supplies--all are needed!

We are launching a brand-new initiative this year to create sustainability and efficiency in our donations process, and charitable groups can help us by donating various housing kits.  Your group can look through our brand new BRS Housing Kit Guide and pick a housing kit that speaks to your group, and then put together as many kits as you are able to.  We do accept some items as gently used, like dishes, flatware, pots, and pans; but other items like bedding, towels, toiletries, etc. would need to be new.

If you cannot commit to a whole kit, you can still donate any item(s) from this guide to support welcoming refugees to the Knoxville area!  Even if you wanted to just collect new pillows or umbrellas (or school supplies, which are not in the Housing Kit Guide), this would be a huge help!  Large groups collecting donations for us really help us meet the material needs of our refugee families.  If this is something you or your group would like to do, I can point you in the right direction as far as current needs go.

If you are interested in welcoming our newest neighbors to Knoxville in this way, please contact Bridge Refugee Services for more information and the new BRS Housing Kit Guide:

CASA is looking for volunteers able to commit to at least one year of service as Court Appointed Special Advocates. The 30 hour training and 3 hours of court observation prepare future CASAs for their role as advocates for children in abuse and neglect cases in the Knox County Juvenile Court. 

CASA volunteers are everyday citizens that judges appoint to advocate for the safety and well-being of children who have been removed from their homes due to parental abuse and neglect. They stand up for these children and change their lives. CASA volunteers listen first. Then they act. Volunteers get to know the child and talk with everyone in that child’s life—parents and relatives, foster parents, teachers, medical professionals, attorneys, social workers and others. They use the information they gather to inform judges and others of what the child needs and what will be the best permanent home for them. Being a CASA volunteer does not require any special education or background, just a heart for children and a willingness to speak out and represent their best interests.

You must be 21 or over, pass background checks, participate in a 33-hour pre-service training course and agree to stay with a case until it is closed (a year and a half on average).
