The Rotary Club of Knoxville’s Mainstream Committee (new Rotarians!) is partnering with the Knoxville-Knox County Community Action Committee (CAC) on The Pillow Project as part of the Mainstream Committee’s Service Project. Founded in 1915, the Rotary Club of Knoxville is the city’s oldest and largest service club. The club is apolitical and secular, welcoming members from all communities.

The CAC is a public agency serving the citizens of Knoxville and Knox County’s low to moderate income families, the unemployed and underemployed, persons with disabilities, and other individuals with special need for services. Community Action changes people’s lives, embodies the spirit of hope, improves communities and makes America a better place to live.

The Pillow Project is a CAC program that assists families, individuals, youth, and seniors who have recently experienced homelessness who are going into permanent housing. This project would not be possible without donations from our community and collaboration between local churches and organizations.

Please help formerly homeless households achieve stability in permanent housing by helping to provide essential household items that many of us take for granted (like hygiene, cleaning supplies, cookware, and bedding).

When homeless individuals and families are able to obtain housing, most have absolutely nothing with which to:

-SLEEP ON
-PREPARE MEALS
-CLEAN WITH
-BATHE WITH

Costs to set up a first time home can get expensive fast--even when you make low-cost choices on a budget. Your support helps people focus their income on making rent and keeping the lights on. It also provides a welcoming and peaceful home.
