Knox Area Rescue Ministries is right on the front lines in the battle against homelessness, hopelessness, and despair in the Knoxville area. Their many faceted ministry is mentioned often on Facebook. You might scroll through and see a request for diapers or twin size blankets during a cold spell. On Thursday, January 26, KARM, as they are called, held a dedication of their newly-expanded overnight shelter for women, Hope Haven.
KARM reminds us that women are the fastest growing portion of the homeless population. They will now have the space to accommodate 100 women instead of just 40. There will also be space provided for interacting with these women and helping them find the direction that they need.
