Get Help

At A Place at The Table, we believe everyone deserves a warm meal and a welcoming community. If you or someone you know could benefit from our services, please join us for a free meal every week. We ask no questions, and everyone is welcome.

When and Where

We serve meals every Monday from 5:30 – 6:45 PM at St. John Lutheran’s Church, located at 544 N Broadway, Knoxville, TN 37917. You don’t need to bring anything or sign up in advance—just come as you are, and we’ll have a seat ready for you.

What to Expect

Our meals are served by volunteers who are dedicated to making sure everyone feels welcome and cared for. In addition to a hot meal, you’ll find a friendly atmosphere where you can relax and enjoy some company. We also provide access to basic necessities, such as toiletries and clothing, as they are available.

If you have any questions or need more information, please feel free to contact us.
