Day of Hope

March 10, 2025 is being celebrated as Tennessee’s Day of Hope.  For so many people, the hope of a better tomorrow is a source of strength and motivation to continue the work to overcome the hurdles in their lives or support the needs of a loved one, friend, or neighbor.  For this sixth annual Day of Hope, we aim to inspire a collective sense of statewide hopefulness in the face of our state’s significant challenges in the fields of substance use disorder and mental illness.

There are several Day of Hope events taking place across Knox County, each with a different area of focus:

• North Knoxville: Justice-involved individuals
  • 530 W 5^th Ave, Knoxville, TN – 10 am – 2 pm
• East Knoxville: Youth & Families

  • 4028 Chapman Hwy, Knoxville, TN – 12 pm – 3 pm
