Did you know that New Life receives monthly donations of bread, pastries, and community bagels that we sort and distribute to our local food pantry? Join us to sort and bag bagels at the church. Then, hop in a car and help spread the love of bread delivery to our neighbors. You are invited to serve in one or both of these opportunities, including our produce gleaning efforts. In need of a delivery? Call the church at (865) 546–5153.

Each summer and fall, we partner with Nourish Knoxville and Concord United Methodist to engage in produce gleaning from the Nourish Markets. The gleaned produce, along with community bagels, is distributed to those in need of food through our local food pantry. Join us at New Life UMC at 2:00 p.m. on the 4th Saturday of each month to help sort and distribute all that area farmers generously donate to this ministry. Don’t hesitate to call the church office if you or someone you know is in need of food.

Family Tamales

Produce Gleaning

Family Tamales

We begin filling orders in late summer! Our entire church hand makes our Famous Hot Tamales according to an old family recipe, and we delight in sharing them with our community. We will begin making our tamales in late August, then will sell them for $20 per dozen. Any profit from these tamales will support our Outreach Ministries projects, including initiatives like community bagels and our food pantry, as well as our produce gleaning efforts.
