Donate Items
Give the Gift of Flexibility
Sometimes, our Neighbors need items that can’t be anticipated or kept on a shelf. Gift cards give VMC staff the flexibility to respond to those needs when they arise—from clothing and shoes to hygiene products, household essentials, and other necessities.
By donating gift cards, you help our team purchase exactly what a Neighbor needs, when they need it most.
For added convenience, digital gift cards can be sent directly to developmentdept@vmcinc.org. Physical gift cards may also be mailed or dropped off at our main building: 511 N. Broadway, Knoxville, TN 37917.
Thank you for your interest in donating to Volunteer Ministry Center. VMC depends heavily on the generosity of faithful supporters as we serve the unhoused population. In an effort to be good stewards of our resources, we are not able to receive unscheduled donations.
(This excludes food donations which may be delivered to the Resource Center.)

(Most Needed: Small Sizes)
Items may be accepted by appointment ONLY
Please contact us at developmentdept@vmcinc.org for a donation drop-off appointment, or call 865.524.3926 x230.
Additionally, if you would like to serve our unhoused neighbors and our dedicated staff with ease, we have provided specific AMAZON WISHLISTS for our mutually beneficial convenience. At any point throughout the year, you can select items from our wish lists, which are custom-made for each of our areas of service. To make donating more effective, you can even have them shipped directly to VMC! Delivery Address: 511 N. Broadway, Knoxville, TN 37917
VMC holds intentional donation drives biannually to fill the specific needs of our unhoused neighbors. If you would like more info on these opportunities, please email us or click the convenient shopping links below.
