Central United Methodist Knoxville, Tennessee
Cooperative Activities
Wesley House
The United Methodist Women continually support the Wesley House. "The Wesley House Community Center offers an after school program for children in grades 1-5, summer programs, Pace program (Performing arts), and senior care for the community's elderly. We offer several additional programs to service the community and believe that with the expansions and improvements that are being made, we will be able to affect the community for the better." Visit their website for more information.

InterFaith Health Clinic
Working people without medical insurance can find affordable medical
care, dental care, mental health counseling and prescription
medications at the Interfaith Health Clinic. The Clinic began in 1991
serving those who earn too much to qualify for government subsidized
insurance and too little to afford private insurance, charging on a
sliding scale. A network of medical specialists and local hospitals
work closely with the clinic, accepting patients for treatment,
hospitalization, and diagnostic tests using the same sliding fee
scale. Some groups at Central make regular donations to support the
clinic, while others have volunteered services. Visit their website for more information.

Volunteer Ministries Center
The Volunteer Ministries Center was established by KICCUP
in 1987 to meet a need
not addressed by traditional missions. The center offers daytime
services and counseling to the homeless and assistance to those trying
to become self-sufficient. Once a month, Central United Methodist
prepares and serves a hot meal for clients in the dining area of the
Day Room once a month. Some members also volunteer with the center's
four programs: Day Room, the Refuge, Jackson Apartments, and The
People's Clinic. For more information see the Volunteer Ministries
Center website.
