Hawkins County Schools Family Resource Center is hosting a food and hygiene drive at the upcoming football game between Cherokee and Volunteer on October 25, 2024, at Volunteer High School. The drive aims to support local Hawkins County families in need by collecting essential items.
The first 100 fans for each team to donate will receive a complimentary rubber wristband in their school colors.
Donations can include non-perishable food items (canned spaghetti, mac and cheese, peanut butter and crackers, ramen noodles, cereal, etc.) and/or hygiene products (shampoo, conditioner, soap, lotions, cleaning supplies, etc.).
Volunteer High School Distribution is cancelled for today, October 17, 2024 and rescheduled for Tuesday, October 22 at 11:30 at the Vocational Building at Volunteer. We are very sorry for the inconvenience to our families and will strive to make sure this doesn’t happen in the future.

The distribution will be held at Cherokee's vocational buildings from 10:00 AM to 10:45 AM and at Volunteer's from 1:00 PM to 2:00 PM. This event is free, but pre-registration is necessary.

While we know it is important to open school sites, especially when they have largely been unharmed by recent storms, we do not want to rush the decision. After a late Sunday afternoon update from Holston Electric and EMS, Hawkins County Schools will not be in session tomorrow, September 30. However, in order to provide needed resources and services to our communities, we will offer open school sites for charging stations and other resources. If you are in need and can safely access one of our school sites during school hours, please do so. Thank you for your patience as we take all information into consideration.
If you or your student has a need of any kind (food, water, shower, laundry) please send me a message or text to 423-327-0179 or call 272-7629 ext. 2056! We will work to help meet these needs within our community.
