Meeting Focus: Because September is National Recovery Month, we want to honor individuals in recovery by hosting a Mothers in Recovery Panel where they can share their stories in a safe, supportive space. We invite you to join us to listen, learn, and work to end the stigmas associated with substance use and individuals that are in recovery. To submit questions or topics you’d like the panel to address, please click here.
Donations: Pack the Crib
Cost: Free – RSVP below.
What is the Community Coalition? The Community Coalition consists of ANY individual in or around Knoxville that wants to help create a healthy and safe community free of substance misuse. Participation can increase knowledge of substance misuse and the tough issues our community is facing today. Each year, members of the Coalition create goals and projects focused on community education and reducing substance misuse in Knoxville.
Anyone interested in making a positive impact in the community through prevention activities is encouraged to attend. A few hours of your time each month can make a big difference! By working together, we can create positive, lasting changes in Knoxville.
Questions? Please email our Coalition Coordinator, Misty McPhetridge, at mmcphetridge@metrodrug.org or call/text 865-242-3119.
PARKING FOR MEETINGS AND EVENTS HELD AT THE GATEWAY IS LESS THAN A BLOCK AWAY AT ST. JOHN’S LUTHERAN CHURCH (544 N BROADWAY).
For donations for mothers, will you accept hotel/ travel size shampoo and conditioner?
Yes we will! We also put those in our hygiene kits for individuals going into treatment.
