19TH BIG GIVE.
Kingsport Homeless Ministry (KHM) has been selected at random from giving circle member nominations as the recipient of our 19th Big Give! This ecumenical Christian organization seeks to address the needs of women and men experiencing homelessness in Kingsport.
To address existing gaps in services, KHM purchased a building in downtown Kingsport with the vision of creating a combined low-barrier night shelter and day services center called Grace House. The organization was incorporated as a nonprofit in 2019. Renovations to Grace House have been extensive but are finally nearing the end!
The day services center, located on the ground floor, will offer safe daytime spaces and serve as a primary point of intake for Kingsport’s homeless community with case management, referrals, and other essential services available onsite.
Our donations will be used to help the organization complete the renovations which will provide safe sleeping accommodations for 20 men and 20 women, as well as access to laundry, showers, and personal hygiene items.
The KHM Board of Directors has set an ambitious target date of November 15, 2024 by which they hope to have all renovations completed and Grace House open to serve Kingsport’s unhoused neighbors. We can help make this goal a reality!

2024 Giving Circle Info
We are offering a simplified, online-only format again for 2024. We are no longer requiring a membership commitment, nonprofit presentations, voting, or pledging.
Twice this year, a nonprofit will be selected at random from nominations. Everyone will be encouraged to donate directly to the selected organization.
Most people give $100-200 for each Big Give, but you can donate any amount. Donations are matched 50% by our foundation partner as long as the nonprofit meets their criteria, and the donor forwards their donation receipt to our leadership team.
In the last five years, giving circle members and friends have donated $171,140 to area nonprofits and we've secured an additional $40,685 from our foundation partner, for a total impact of $211,825!
Together, we make a big impact in the Tri-Cities. Thanks for your participation!
