VMC is in need of items to assist the individuals we serve at any given point in the year. The Bush Family Refuge serves individuals who are homeless or struggling to maintain their housing. These individuals often are lacking daily necessities such as clothing or basic hygiene items. As our Resource Center assists homeless individuals achieve housing, we do our best to ensure that they have some basic items to move into their new home with. This is done with the help of donations of various items like cleaning supplies, bath towels, sheets, pillows, etc. Donations of the following items are a great way to support VMC's mission and those we serve. Donations may be dropped off at the main VMC administrative offices at 511 N. Broadway, Knoxville, TN 37917 Monday - Thursday 8:00am - 5:00pm and on Friday 8:00am - 3:00pm.
