Knox Area Rescue Ministries (KARM)
KARM’s mission is to seek to rescue the poor and needy of the Knox area by providing recovery services in Jesus’ name.
Area Served: Knoxville area
Programs We Support:
Noisy Offering - Children collect a "noisy offering" (mostly change) on 1st Sunday of each month during the church service and donate the funds to KARM to help provide meals for their clients. A meal cost about $2.
Food/Supplies Collection - Food and supplies are collected monthly in a container located in the Narthex based on the needs request from Knox Area Rescue Ministry. These needs may change each month. Check the Weekly Update for the latest information.
Baskets of Hope – For Thanksgiving, KARM distributes boxes (approximately 30 pounds) of non-perishable food and a turkey to people within the Knoxville area. Typically our church provides about 75 boxes. Individual families fill each box and provide money for the turkey.
Corners of Your Field is a partnership opportunity between local churches and Knox Area Rescue Ministries. The Corners of Your Field Program encourages attendees of our church to donate to KARM Stores. When you drop off your donations, ensure they know you are from Faith Fellowship. The stores then return a portion of the value of these items in the form of gift cards to our church so that we, in turn, can help families who come to us for help. They can use these KARM gift cards to get clothing and supplies that they need. See a video on how this works below.
