Feeding Our Neighbors – Mother’s Day, 2024

🎉 Exciting News! 🎉

We’re happy to announce that ASK has partnered with Magnolia UMC for the third time! Together, on Mother’s Day, we recently volunteered to serve 24 trays of delicious baked ziti, accompanied by fresh salad, mouthwatering cookies, and garlic bread.

This collaboration highlights the power of unity and compassion in our community regardless of difference in beliefs. It’s inspiring to see how working together can make a meaningful impact!

A huge shoutout to all the volunteers who dedicated their time and effort to make this event a success. Your contributions are truly appreciated! We also want to extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who donated to support this endeavor.

Our next event to feed our neighbors is on June 9th, and we’d love for you to join us! Please reach out if you want to volunteer or donate. Stay tuned for additional opportunities to get involved and make a difference. Let’s continue to support each other and spread kindness wherever we go!

ASK Easter Sunday 3/31/24

🌟 Exciting News from ASK! 🌟

We’re thrilled to share that the Atheist Society of Knoxville (ASK) again joined forces with the United Methodist Church (UMC) for a heartwarming Easter initiative! Together, we embarked on a mission to spread kindness and compassion by feeding the hungry in our community. And what a success it was!

UMC graciously donated seven spiral hams and three trays of banana pudding. With the remarkable contributions from ASK members, which included trays of deviled eggs, six delectable cakes, an abundance of cookies, 240 pieces of fried chicken, a hefty 50 pounds of potatoes, and delicious baked mac & cheese, our impact on Easter Sunday was substantial. We were able to provide quite the feast!

The spirit of unity and collaboration was truly inspiring, and we couldn’t have achieved such success without the support of UMC and the dedication of our ASK members. Your kindness and generosity have made a real difference in the lives of those in need, and for that, we are immensely grateful.

Thank you, United Methodist Church, for opening your doors and hearts to us. We are honored to have partnered with you on this meaningful endeavor. Together, we’ve shown that compassion knows no boundaries, and by working together, we can create positive change in our community.

Let’s continue to spread love, kindness, and generosity wherever we go. Together, we can make a difference!

ASK bowling night 3/24/24

ASK organized a group outing to go bowling, and it was a fantastic experience for all involved. We had a great time hitting the lanes, enjoying friendly competition, and cheering each other on. More importantly, it provided us with an opportunity to come together as a community, and simply have fun in each other’s company. These group activities are invaluable in fostering a sense of belonging and camaraderie within ASK, and we look forward to organizing more events like this in the future.
