Making a difference through Volunteerism

Another young volunteer, Asa, has been dedicating his time to Love on Wheels for nearly a year. Asa regularly contributes his efforts and often brings his family along to lend a hand as well. His commitment exemplifies how the younger generation is making a positive impact on the world. We extend our heartfelt thanks to Asa for his significant role in improving the lives of children in foster care.

East Tennessee Outreach: 572 Duffle Bags Delivered with Community Support

On July 12, 2024, Love on Wheels delivered 572 duffle bags to nine counties in East Tennessee, thanks to the incredible efforts of twenty-three dedicated volunteers who meticulously packed and unpacked each bag. This significant contribution was made possible by the generous donations of hundreds of community members, who provided essential items for children entering foster care in these regions. The collective efforts of our volunteers and donors have made a profound impact, ensuring that these children receive much-needed support and comfort during a challenging transition.

Cultivating a Culture of Giving from an Early Age

Volunteering at Love on Wheels is an opportunity for individuals of all ages to make a meaningful impact, and we are especially grateful for dedicated volunteers like Lukas and his mom Melissa. As long-time supporters of our mission, they have been instrumental in driving positive change within their community. Their consistent involvement and enthusiastic participation have not only contributed significantly to our efforts but also inspired others to join in. Every time that Lukas and his Mom volunteer they bring donations to love as well.

We are incredibly grateful to Lukas for giving his time and resources to help Love on Wheels and for being a regular volunteer!

Cars for Kids: A donated Car Collection for Kids Entering Foster Care

We are incredibly grateful for the generous donation of over 5,000 cars from Scot Nee’s collection. These gifts bring immense joy and excitement to children, particularly those entering foster care, providing them with not just a toy, but a symbol of care and compassion. Love on Wheels deeply appreciates this extraordinary contribution, which significantly enhances the experiences of these children and brightens their lives. Such thoughtful gestures reinforce the power of giving and make a meaningful difference in the lives of those we serve.
