YWCA Knoxville & the Tennessee Valley

We are honored to receive the Preservation Merit Award from Knox Heritage! 👏🧡

This award celebrates the recent renovation of our century-old downtown building, now the Nancy J. Land Center, and home to the Jenny Boyd Keys of Hope program. Throughout the project, we committed to preserve the dignity, history and purpose of a space that has served women for generations.

YWCA Knoxville & the Tennessee Valley leadership attended the East Tennessee Preservation Awards in May, and we thank Knox Heritage for this honor and to Inside of Knoxville for highlighting the recognition.

June 4 marks the 107th anniversary of the 19th Amendment!

Happy Pride! 🌈

What an inspiring 16th Annual Keys of Hope Luncheon! 🧡🔑

We’re so grateful to everyone who attended, sponsored, donated and celebrated with us. Your support empowers the life-changing work our team carries out every day. Every ticket purchased isn’t just a seat at the table, but an opportunity that opens doors for women in need.

From the heartwarming story shared by a past client to a look inside our newly renovated Nancy J. Land Center, the day was filled with gratitude and hope. And a big thank you to our guest speaker, former Knoxville Mayor Madeline Rogero, for her inspiring words.
