Hey Folks,

I can’t say enough about the good that East Tennessee Foundation does for so many of our nonprofits to have the greatest impact in our communities. If you have a little extra for our neighbors in Cocke and Greene Counties, let’s show them some love. You won’t regret it.

Our East Tennessee neighbors in Cocke and Greene Counties are facing devastating flooding after days of heavy rainfall. Through ETF's Neighbor to Neighbor Disaster Relief Fund, we can come together to help families and communities recover.

Every gift makes a difference. 💙

Our community partner has some helpful clinics coming up.

The mission of Remote Area Medical is to provide free quality healthcare to those in need. To help fulfill this mission, we regularly set up mobile telehealth clinics in various places across the state of Tennessee so those who may not have the means to get care can see a registered nurse in person and talk with a doctor virtually. RAM regularly sets up clinics at all these locations, thanks to both your support and the support of partner locations in these communities. Click below to learn more!

The hardest step for our neighbors sometimes is to make an appointment and walk through these doors. But once inside they will receive respect and empathy while our team assists with their needs.

Youth experiencing homelessness or housing instability often face major barriers when it comes to obtaining important documents like IDs, birth certificates, Social Security cards, and other vital records needed for housing, employment, healthcare, and more.

This free hotline connects young people directly with legal professionals who can help navigate those documentation challenges. Hotline hours are currently Wednesdays only, though expanded hours are expected in the future.
