We are a grassroots community organization helping support basic needs and bring love to our neighbors in Knoxville and East Tennessee.The seeds of Levi's Heart were planted when 4-year-old Levi went through what would be the first of many surgeries to correct a heart defect and the complications that arose along with it. This life-long experience gave him understanding and empathy for others, specifically the unhoused, many of whom live in close proximity to his family home.
What began as a pantry on the corner of their lot has expanded into four additional locations and a food box delivery program that provides food and hygiene items to those in need. Longer-term, Levi's Heart plans to expand its food security programming and move into other areas of serving people experiencing homelessness.
We'd love for you to join the team!
