Bedtime in a Box on display at Knox County Public Library during January
Our popular Bedtime in a Box program is on display in the Knox County Public Library during January. Just as important is learning how this program is having an impact on 4 and 5 year old youth in our county as these are distributed to parents and their children in the summer and fall to better prepare them for their routines at night including the most important ingredient which is being read to at bedtime. You can also support this program by sponsoring an individual box or boxes at future distribution times by completing the form below and sending to to us.

Red Skelton Needy Children Funds managed by the United Way of Knox County gifted the Salvation Army with $500 in request to fund pajamas for their Christmas gifts to children. Something Red would have been proud of supporting.
