Our mission is to seek to rescue the poor and needy of the Knoxville area by providing recovery services in Jesus' name. We believe that Rescue + Relationships = Restoration. As we provide daily for those most vulnerable and desperate among us, we first supply rescue services of food and shelter, then offer healthy, supportive relationships. The ultimate goal for those who come to us in need is restoration...to God, self, family and community. KARM provides nearly 1,000 meals each day and shelters nearly 400 men, women and children each night in the Knoxville area.
