Description

Somebody Loves Me, Inc., a 501 (c)3 organization committed to helping those less fortunate in Northeast Tennessee.  Our programs focus on individuals living in poverty in our region.   Our Clothing Our Children Program provides underprivileged school-age children with shoes, clothing and personal care items year-round and our other clothing programs provide needy adults and senior citizens with clothes, shoes, and personal need items as well. We have also just launched a new program providing victims of domestic violence with clothes, shoes, personal need items, and clothing and shoes that they can wear to job interviews as well as to work when they get employment.

When children’s essential needs are not met, this can have a direct negative impact on their school success and our goal is to do our part in ensuring success for as many children in our region as possible. 

 

All of our members are unpaid volunteers and we rely on fundraisers and community donations to support our programs. Our Annual Auction Fundraiser is our largest fundraising endeavor.  All proceeds from this event will be used to purchase items for individuals in need.  This year’s Auction is virtual and will be ongoing through the months of May and June of 2022.
