We have multiple volunteer opportunities available. Whichever option you choose, you are making an impact as all forms of volunteering are essential to our ministry. We ask that you wear comfortable clothes for walking around for any volunteer opportunity. You can find more details on each below.

Everything for us begins with outreach. Our goal is to be a constant presence in the community and meet our neighbors exactly where they are. We have two forms of outreach- street outreach and litter pick up. Outreaches are a great way for volunteers to get involved, serve our community and begin to understand what East Knoxville is all about. You will receive an email the morning of your outreach with details, so please keep a look out for that! Please arrive at the Magnolia Women's Center promptly at the start time, so we can begin our time of prayer before getting started. Contact laurel@magnoliaministries.org with further questions.

Street Outreach: We go into the community with hygiene kits filled with basic hygiene products, snacks and a card for the Magnolia Women's Center. The goal is to meet and engage with neighbors, tell them about the Magnolia Women's Center and begin to build trust and relationships.

Litter Pick Up: Through our partnership with local nonprofit, Keep Knoxville Beautiful, we have adopted a stretch of Martin Luther King Boulevard right by our Women's Center. With East Knoxville being a severely under-resourced part of the city, there are no public trash cans. We believe in leaving our community better than we found it so we have committed to a litter pick up once a month.

The Blitz is a bi-monthly Saturday morning volunteer opportunity. Wear comfortable shoes as we will be on our feet sorting and organizing donations in our donation center, taking sorted clothing to the Magnolia Women's Center, and/or cleaning the Magnolia Women's Center. You will receive an email the week before your Blitz with details, so please keep a look out for that! Please arrive at the Donation Center promptly at the start time, so we can begin our time of prayer before getting started. Contact emily@magnoliaministries.org with further questions.
