SNEEDVILLE MERCY
About This Ministry
Sneedville Mercy has been a vital support for the community over the past three years. Initially, the ministry offered aid to those in need. As grocery prices increased, it responded by creating two large blessing boxes and diligently maintaining them with non-perishable food items. Over time, Sneedville Mercy expanded by establishing a food bank to assist larger families and began offering clothing and hygiene products. The Church also has a ministry room that provides emergency shelter to the homeless during cold weather and supports substance abuse recovery by facilitating access and transportation to rehabilitation centers across the state.
Frequently asked questions
Where is your food bank located?
Most of our food and clothing items are based in Morristown. If you need assistance with food, please reach out to us using the contact form below. Leave your name and phone number, and a team member will get in touch with you.
Are you going to host anymore community dinners?
We aim to continue hosting the Thanksgiving dinner for the community. Last year, we served nearly 500 plates. If we decide to proceed with this event, we will make an announcement on the Sneedville Mercy Facebook page and throughout town.
Do you take in homeless people?
If you or someone you know is facing homelessness, we are here to offer assistance. Although we do not have a dedicated homeless shelter, members of our church are prepared to provide temporary accommodations. Please reach out to us to arrange an interview with the pastor, and we'll do our best to assist. While we cannot guarantee availability, we will make every effort to help.
Do you have a warming station during freezing temperatures?
During the winter of 2023-24, temperatures approached single digits. We made every effort to find an organization willing to open its doors, but when no one responded, our pastor offered his home. Although we don’t have a shelter, many of our members are willing to welcome you into their homes. Please contact us using the portal below. We also offer transportation for local residents.
