With the support of KCDC staff who gave what they could, we were able to give out more than 700 pairs of socks during Saturday’s Shoes for School! We’re so grateful to be part of such an incredible event held each year by Knoxville Area Urban League. What an awesome day for our community!

With the help of City of Knoxville - Government, Knox County Government, KABOOM!, and so many others in our community, we came together one week ago to build a children-designed, community-built playground in Montgomery Village!

Check out the incredible work everyone did to make it possible:

From a patch of grass to a playground in three days. That happened this week in Montgomery Village as community partners collaborated with national nonprofit KABOOM! to plan, fund and build a playground to specs identified by neighborhood kids and families. Slide? Check. Places to sit? Check. Workout station? Check. It was hot and sweaty work, but the results -- community pride and a safe place to play -- are priceless.

Eight weeks. Countless smiles. Endless memories.

Thanks to the Appalachian Mountain Bike Club's (AMBC) Trail Blazers program, kids at the Boys & Girls Clubs of the Tennessee Valley in North Ridge Crossing got to ride mountain bikes, have some fun, and explore a trail nearby during their summer break!

As the program wraps up next week, we're grateful to AMBC for inspiring the next generation of trail users — one ride at a time!
