Quarterly Commodities Packing and Delivery to Disadvantaged Families…
For several
years, the Knights of Columbus at St. Thomas Catholic Church and the Tellico
Village Kiwanis Club have partnered together to pack and deliver commodities to
disadvantaged families in Lenoir City.
These
commodities are provided by the Mid-East Community Action Agency (MECAA) for
Loudon County.
MECAA’s long term goal is
to promote and support self-sufficiency. However, over the short term,
MECAA realizes that individuals and families living in poverty may need more
immediate support to get through a challenging period. When funds are
available, MECAA can help ease the burden of individuals or families in crisis
by providing direct financial assistance to cover basic needs such as food,
rent or utility payments. These services allow vulnerable members of the
community to stretch their own resources a little further. This is where the Knights of Columbus and
Kiwanis step in to help.
Each quarter,
these two service agencies gather in the Memorial Hall in Lenoir City to unload
a trailer of food, pack the food items in grocery bags, and deliver them to the
families identified by MECAA. The
Knights of Columbus help with the unloading and packing. Kiwanis members pack the grocery bags into their
cars and deliver the food. In March of
2020, we packed food for 41 families. Each family received five bags of
groceries; with each bag weighing approximately 20 pounds. Over 4,000 pounds of food were packed and
delivered! No small feat indeed.
The families are so grateful for the service and receipt of the food. It helps stretch their budget for the month. While it may seem to be a small gift, it means they have the ability to continue to provide nutritious meals for their families.
Hospital Comfort Dolls Project…
This project was started many years ago by the spouse of a former club president. Patters are cut and partially sewed by our members/spouses. Residents from local assisted living facilities stuff the dolls. Our members collect and stitch the dolls closed, adding ribbons to the finished doll. The dolls are delivered to the Tennessee Children’s Hospital Surgical Center. The hospital staff draw on the dolls showing the children what surgery they will undergo. These “Comfort Dolls” make the hospital experience much less traumatic for the child.
We make and deliver approximately 240 dolls a year, with volunteer service hours on this project averaging 1,400 annually.
The sun has set on our Kiwanis Fundraiser, "It's Pancake Time in Tellico Village". After 15 days and 956 breakfasts served, this very different fundraiser ended today, Nov. 20th, 2021. We extend our sincere thanks to: Little Italy Restaurant and their staff; our community, neighbors and friends; our members and their families. Our Pancake Breakfast Event was a success because of you. Kids Need Kiwanis More than Ever. Kiwanis is grateful for your support! ... See MoreSee Less

Hello, Kiwanis Club of Tellico Village. I saw the article in the News Herald about the Buddy Benches. I have been collecting bottle caps for over two years, when I found out about the Buddy Benches at my son's school, Eaton Elementary. He is now going to be moving to North this year. Where can I drop off the tons of bottle caps I have collected?
