Hope Shines Bright in Knoxville: Helping Neighbors Affected by Flooding

Knoxville is rallying together in an incredible show of community spirit as we prepare to support our neighbors affected by the devastating flooding caused by Tropical Storm Helene. It’s always inspiring to see how a community pulls together during tough times, and right now, we have a wonderful opportunity to lend a hand to those in need.

Donation Drive Kicking Off Tomorrow

Tomorrow, Monday, from 6 a.m. until 6 p.m., a tractor trailer will be stationed at Cumulus Media Knoxville, located at 4711 Old Kingston Pike, Knoxville, TN 37919. This is your chance to make a difference! We are collecting essential items such as toiletries, bottled water, and dry goods. Every little bit helps, and these supplies are going to be distributed directly to those affected by the flooding.

Location for Donations Near White Pine

For those of you living closer to White Pine, there’s good news! A semi-trailer for donations will also be set up at ProTeam Auctions. It’s important not to overlook those living in neighboring communities who are also in distress due to this natural disaster. So, no matter where you are, you have a chance to help!

Join Us for Live Broadcasts

To spread awareness and keep the momentum going, some of our stations will be live broadcasting throughout the day. WOKI, Newstalk987, will be live from 6 a.m. to noon. We encourage you to tune in and listen, as we share stories, thank our donors, and continue to rally support for our friends and families affected by this disaster.

What’s Needed?

Here’s a quick list of what to bring if you’re planning to donate:

  • Toiletries: Things like soap, shampoo, toothbrushes, and other personal hygiene items.
  • Bottled Water: Clean drinking water is vital, especially for those who have lost access due to the flooding.
  • Dry Goods: Non-perishable food items like canned goods, rice, pasta, and snacks will be greatly appreciated.

A Community United in Kindness

It’s heartwarming to see Knoxville come together like this. During times of hardship, a single act of kindness can create a ripple effect that inspires others. So whether you’re able to donate a box of groceries or just drop off a few toiletries, your contributions matter tremendously.

Thank You for Your Support

Now more than ever, our community needs each other. Thank you for anything you can do to help our neighbors. If you can’t make it to the donation sites tomorrow, consider sharing our efforts on social media or simply asking your friends and family to contribute. Together, we can make a significant impact and bring a little relief to those who are struggling. Remember, Knoxville stands strong through unity and giving.
