GENEROUS HOUSE

Loving our Knoxville neighbors through demonstrating the generous love of Christ.

Generous House is a 501(c)(3) organization. All donations are tax deductible.

THE GENEROUS HOUSE MISSION

Our mission is to show generous love to our greater Knoxville area neighbors by providing the compassionate distribution of food for the sustenance of those who are hungry in our community. We do this through the operation of a monthly drive-thru outreach offering free groceries, meat, produce, diapers and wipes, and resources to all in need.
