February is the month of love and I am visiting a different community group every day to thank them for the wonderful work that they are doing.
On day 25 of #spreadthelove I visited the Metro Drug Coalition in Knoxville. They are committed to creating a healthy and safe community, free of substance abuse. They have various youth outreach programs for all ages in our schools, and they also provide SBIRT training in Knox County for health care providers, nurse practitioners, nurses, residents, and office managers.
If you need any help, please call the Tennessee Redline today at 1-800-889-9789 for free confidential information and referrals.
Go send them some love and tell them what a wonderful job they are doing in our community. And don’t forget to sign up for their 5K on April 6!

On day 24 of #spreadthelove I’m at Random Acts of Flowers in Knoxville. They reuse flowers from weddings, funerals, and event venues and bring them to people in health care facilities to spread hope, kindness, and happiness.
And they just celebrated 100,000 deliveries in Knoxville alone! Go send them some love and tell them what a wonderful job they are doing in our community. Got some vases, flowers, or time? Donate it to them and help them spread happiness and kindness!

You may never have heard of East Tennessee Community Design Center, who I visited on Day 21 of #spreadthelove. But if you’ve been in a few public spaces in our area, like Change Center Knoxville, Emory Valley Center, and many others, then you have benefited from their work: professional design & planning services to improve life & work in East Tennessee.
What a great mission! Go send them some love on Facebook or Twitter and let them know what a good job they have done in the buildings they helped bring to life!

Day 20 of #spreadthelove is at the Knoxville-Knox County CAC Office on Aging #FosterGrandparent program.
Ann is such a sweet lady who loves to cuddle with “her” babies. It was such a pleasure to meet her, and on her birthday to boot!
Please send her and all of her co-volunteers your love and let them know what a truly wonderful job they are doing in our public schools, head start, and after school programs.
And if you have a few hours to spare and would love to spoil other people’s children and then send them home, then give the Foster Grandparent program a call at 865-524-2786 or email Gina.Whitfield@knoxseniors.org

Wow I learned so much talking with these guys, I’m so impressed by their incredible commitment when they choose to volunteer there! That’s a part-time job AND they are ALWAYS on standby!
They take care of the whole county! Send them some love, show them your #appreciation, tell them #thankyou for doing a fantastic job.
