Fountain City Ministry Center
Fountain City Ministry Center’s mission is to glorify God and transform lives through helping Knox County residents in need return to a more self-sustaining lifestyle by providing relief in the way of food, hygiene items, and children’s clothing. The Ministry Center is a cooperative effort of ten Fountain City area churches to provide these services, often in partnership with many other charitable organizations in the area.
Mobile Meals
Mobile Meals is the Meals on Wheels program in Knoxville and Knox County TN. The Mobile Meals program serves meals at 12:00pm five days a week and on holidays to Knox county citizens. Recipients are at least 60 years of age, though most are in their late 80s- early 90s and are unable to prepare meals for themselves. The cost of the meal is income based. Members of St. Paul are responsible for a local Fountain City Mobile Meals route.
Wesley House
Founded in 1907, Wesley House has adapted over time and continues to serve the Mechanicsville Community. Wesley House currently provides academic, emotional, and spiritual support to 86 at-risk inner-city students and fellowship and support to 25 deserving inner-city senior citizens.
Holston Home for Children
The ministry of Holston Home began in 1895 when a single woman took a step of faith and founded an orphanage in Northeast Tennessee. From those early beginnings, the “Home” has grown to serve more than 325 children and their families on any given day with family service centers located throughout East Tennessee and Southwest Virginia. The professional, caring services of Holston Home are focused on keeping families together. When it is necessary for a child to live apart from his or her family, they provide quality, compassionate care and remain focused on getting the child and family reunited.
