“Our kids have been part of MorningStar since they were just 12 weeks and two years old, and they are now seven and ten. Over the years, they have formed the sweetest friendships, enjoyed countless field trips, learned new skills, and grown in a safe, creative, and nurturing environment. We are truly grateful to be part of the MorningStar family!”
“Awesome. But the trails u definitely get lost on. I would recommend downloading all trails before going. This helped us out of it. Paid $5 for parking for 12 hours.”
“Went thier today.yhe best staff ever anywhere hands down.helped me and was so kind and knowledgeable.took labs and didn't realize she was already in.awesome.”
“Survived Saturday's hellish outdoor food market: sweated like a pig in a sauna, shuffling zombie-slow with infinite patience while vendors peddled their wares. Prices hilariously high with meh deals, but hey, at least you're heroically supporting those awesome local farms with their cool organic meats and produce—next time, Wednesday for sanity.”
“I would say my experience here was pleasant. I was greeted by everyone with a warm atmosphere. The inside is beautiful and well maintenance. The bathrooms themselves were clean to top-notch. There's an ATM iinside if you need it. The parking lot in the front is small, but there's plenty in the back.”
“Love The Gateway! It's an amazing community center for those that are in recovery and an awesome tool for anyone that wants to get off drugs, find treatment, AND find an amazing support system! If you or someone you love are seeking or in recovery come and check us out! Dollars to doughnuts you won't regret it!”
“I just love how Emerald Youth foundation has grown, and done so much for Knoxville children! You have come a long way from your beginnings in the 1970s! A dream of Dr. Paul Kelly , I know he would be so happy to know what has become of this organization! Job well done faithful servants!”
“Adopted an adorable mixed puppy from Humane Society of the Tennessee Valley and I highly recommend them. The Volunteers are really nice and they have wonderful animals that need a loving home. They seem to really care about the welfare of these sweet animals. Please consider them as we had a great experience and Adopted a sweet puppy who has become a wonderful part of our family.”
“This organization does outstanding work in providing free bouquets of flowers to people that are infirmed or needing a little pick me up. After the flowers are donated, volunteers diligently work to sort the flowers and make new bouquets. The arrangements are then delivered and given to people in hospitals, nursing homes, rehab facilities, mental health facilities, children's hospitals, retirement centers, and veterans facilities.”
“This is probably the best YMCA I’ve ever been too. I came in town for a few days and happened to be staying down the road. They found my account, gave a tour, and provided all the resources I needed to include making a photo copy of class schedules and contact information. Tons of equipment and amenities. Hats off to the staff!”
“I love city hills! I just admire everything pastor Brandon and Kara have done in this place and all the other staff!! I am now very involved in the church and praise God for this blessing. Join us soon!!! @cityhills.church”
“I enjoyed my first volunteer experience at Beardsley Community Farm. Helped rotate compost bins, picked raspberries, watered new plantings of squash, and laid out garlic to dry.
Beautiful gardens and wonderful people.”
“Full of historical artifacts. Information sheets given at ticket purchase with lots of history. Many buildings to walk through and green space in the middle. Currently home to a young mother cat and her several kittens (all feral, not mean, just not friendly).”

“Wonderful place for families who shouldn’t have to worry about anything besides their child or selves. Very clean, very nice, they give you your space. Super thankful for this place.”
“This is a great place to shop. I've bought several things for my kids, my mom, and myself. The people are always so friendly and helpful. I love the store. Being a single mom of two kids the community chest is an absolute blessing and I appreciate all of them from the bottom of my heart. ??”
“As a musician and a broadcaster, the arts is very important to me. I have seen first hand the work that the Joy of Music School does in our community with kids who are underprivileged. Joy of Music School provides music lessons and instruments to children of families who cannot afford such luxuries. I use the term "luxury" because in most public school systems, the music and orchestra programs have been removed from the budget. I have personally visited Joy of Music School and have seen them in action. All the teachers are volunteers. The program has been life changing for many kids. Some students go on to major universities on music scholarships. For others it is an outlet from their daily lives, and for some it is simply a way to stay out of trouble. In any case, this is a cause worth funding. I would highly recommend The Joy of Music School on multiple levels. I am a proud supporter.”

“We have had nothing short of an amazing experience at little oaks. Our family has been with little oaks for 3 years. I feel my children are safe and well cared for. All the staff know my children and say hello and goodbye to my kids by name, even when they’re not my child’s teacher and I don’t know the staff member’s name myself. There is an expected amount of turn over with college aged teachers (oh to have that energy!), but much of the staff have been there since before we started.
The education is top notch. My son was singing the alphabet at 2 years old; which I didn’t even know was possible (I certainly didn’t teach him that). The playground time and activities are great. I love getting the weekly class plan and daily pictures. Everything feels well rounded and catered to the kiddos. I have no doubt my kids will be ready for kindergarten (too fast!).
I’m honestly floored that the ratings are so low. I know there have been staffing changes that have improved things, and one of the negative reviews was from someone that didn’t like the wait list during peak COVID, so do your due diligence as a parent and really research and visit little oaks. Remember people are more likely to use the internet for negativity than to rave about their experience. I think you’ll find this place is a diamond in the rough.”
“I, unfortunately, did not really feel that comfortable or safe when I visited. I don't know if that's more on me or I was just not there at a good time.That said, while there, I kinda had an odd thought that maybe some space could be set up for people in the local LGBT+ community to sell their creative projects - from sewing, woodwork, and millinery (hat designs)...to books, art, and maybe music.”

“My cousin enjoyed working here assembling automotive parts, which is a skill I'd like to have. Not everyone can do that. My concern is that some of the larger vehicles can't stop in time when driving around the bend. The cross walk needs to be moved and repainted closer to the bridge. I'm going to ask at the library if there have been accidents or near accidents at the crosswalk.
I wonder if some of the clients/employees @ Sunshine are off SSI SSDI because they are working full time. I'm wondering if they are paid the same as comparable jobs assembling parts. Some drivers are driving cautiously and slow. There's also a large open drain pipe from the Knoxville water department. Someone with low vision could inadvertently step into this hole in the asphalt and suffer injury.”
“We've got the best office staff and the best DSP out there. We go above and beyond. And we get it done rigjt tbe fist time. We love our clients like they are family! And we would do anything for them!”
“Emerald youth offers opportunities in sports of all types around the Knoxville area two children who might not have that opportunity. Basketball volleyball swimming after school assistance the list is endless if you have questions contact emerald youth and ask what they have available!”
“An amazing experience! Goodwill staff, Brandon, scheduled the pick up of a treadmill and an antique chair. Eric and D came as scheduled and made the entire process seamless and successful. All gave outstanding service that Goodwill is known for. Thank you for helping me, others and our community.”

“Went to the place where they had food truck I'm going to be volunteering their which is really nice and I love feeding the homeless and helping others out it's such a great rewarding feeling”
“Tonya was so helpful during a time of great stress and anxiety! I wouldn’t be surprised if she was in leadership soon! Thanks again for all your help Tanya. You are such a blessing.”
“The people here are very loving and welcoming accepted my family with open arms we can clear from Ohio they have done nothing but been good to us that's our personal experience as long as you do what you're supposed to do they'll help you out.”
“Very clean, smaller goodwill store. Customer service is great. Because of the smaller location, there is not as much variety as other locations. Merchandise is overall good quality if you know what to look for.”
“Staff are super nice. Lots of nice preowned furniture, housewares and a clothing section.
I didn’t find what I was looking for but they have a Facebook where they announce big deliveries of items.”
