Community. Meals. Mutual Aid. YOU!
Accessible food is a human right.
Knox Needs serves free, ready-to-eat meals daily at Sam Duff Memorial Park in South Knoxville, located at 4060 Chapman Hwy, just off the Moody Avenue intersection. There are no eligibility requirements, no pre-registration required, no questions asked. Join us for a meal today!
Where/when are meals served?
We serve at Sam Duff Memorial Park’s covered picnic pavilion (near the playground), every day from 6 pm until 6:30, or until food runs out (whichever comes FIRST).
Address: 4060 Chapman Hwy
Free street parking is available on Hedgeapple Lane, just steps from the pavilion!
Knox Needs… YOUR HELP!
Knox Needs believes that daily access to food is a human right, regardless of your living circumstances. This belief is the very core of the ready-to-eat meal program. Traditional food pantries may not be the right option for those who have no means to cook food that must be prepared before eating. Volunteers with the meal program prepare food in their own kitchens and distribute dozens of ready-to-eat meals per day at Sam Duff Memorial Park, located just off Chapman Hwy in South Knoxville. We currently prepare 40 plates or bowls of food per day, and we rely entirely on donations and volunteers to continue our program. Please consider sharing our information, volunteering, and donating as you are able, to help us continue to support our neighbors in need!
