We have recently had a stove, double sink, and stovetop range donated to the ministry, which is answered prayer for a kitchen! We need help in installing everything, wiring for a range, building cabinets to house everything. If you would like to come out and see what we have, please do so Tuesday-Thursday from 9-2 or Sundays from 1-5 PM. Or email Stephanie thewaterangels@gmail to schedule an appointment.

We still have many shoes to provide for the Christmas service this year. Please click on "Shoes for the Soul" and choose the person you would like to bless. Simply gift wrap and put a copy of their information on the front, so we know who it goes to. You could add a card if you like, or if you would like to buy a package a socks, please don't include in the box. We will break all sock packages open, so everyone gets at least one pair.

We also need help with providing Christmas dinner. You can click on the Sunday Services page, and go to Dec. 14 to see what the needs are.

Every child that comes will get to pick out at least one new toy (or more if we have enough). If you would like to provide a new toy for either a girl or boy from ages to newborn to 16, please do so, and leave unwrapped. We'd like to allow them the joy of picking out their own gift.

We also are needing 600 snack bags to hand out at Christmas that will include a drink, and several snacks, and a bible tract, or personal note. This is a great opportunity for a youth group or the children's ministry to get involved.

If you have any questions, please email Stephanie thewaterangels@gmail.com

This ministry started because of a prayer, and we are still here because of prayer. We allow God to guide us through prayer, answered prayer, and listening to Him. Please pray for us! Pray that God will continue to guide us, pray that we follow His will, no matter how difficult it is, pray for strength, pray for volunteers with the right hearts. Pray for transformation of all of us! Pray that bondages are broken when the homeless turn to Him. Pray that God raises them up and uses their testimonies to help others. Pray that we continue to make disciples in downtown Knoxville to spread the Good News about Christ! Pray that God continues to meet all of our needs when we continue to do whatever He wants!

We are in critical need of financial donations. We need approximately $2000/month to run our ministry. We operate solely with volunteers. Noone gets paid to help the homeless or this ministry. 100% of the finances given goes directly to providing services that help them get off the streets, such as providing State ID's, transportation to Social Security to receive their cards, transportation to finding apartments, applying for jobs, or help with moving into new apartments. Gas cards are also welcome! Any donation could be mailed to: Water Angels Ministries; PO Box 22153; Knoxville, Tn 37933 and put in memo "operating expenses".

We have the clothing room open to the homeless Tuesday-Thursdays and Sunday if they are in need of clothes or supplies. We are in need of casual men, women, and children's clothing of season only. We have no storage room for items not in season. We also need used jackets, coats, shoes, work boots, socks, underwear, and bras. Please drop off any donations to Water Angels, 907 University Avenue on Tuesday-Thursday from 9-2 or Sundays from 1-5 PM.

We do provide an emergency food pantry at the church to anyone out of food. We are always in need of canned fruits, vegetables, and meat, including pop top cans for those staying outside in camps. Box cereal, rice, beans, mac/cheese is always good as well. Toiletry items, feminine products, and first aid supplies are also needed. You can drop off at Water Angels, 907 University Avenue on Tuesday-Thursday from 9-2 PM and on Sundays from 1-5 PM.

We also have public Food Pantries six times a year, where we purchase a half truck of food from Second Harvest for $300. If you would like to help sponsor this expense, please mail donations to: Water Angel Ministries; PO Box 22153; Knoxville, TN 37933 and put in memo-Food Pantry.

We do need volunteers to come work with the kids on the first Saturday of each month. We also need a group to provide lunch that day, or a craft. We also allow the children to earn points for new or gently used toys, books, or clothing, so we need these items each month. If you would rather donate to this club, we can get the items necessary. Please mail donations to Water Angel Ministries, PO Box 22153; Knoxville, TN 37933 and put Shining Star in memo. Any product donations can be delivered to Water Angels at 907 University Avenue on Tuesday-Thursday from 9-2 or on Sundays from 1-5 PM.

We do need volunteers during the week: Tuesday-Thursday between 9-2 to help out with lasses, provide lunch, and/or help restocking & cleaning church for Sunday. On Tuesday & Wednesday, we also help the homeless move into apartments. We could use some muscles to help move furniture. If you have a truck, that's awesome, if not, we do have a van & trailer we use.

We also need volunteers on Sundays from 1-5 to help out with children's room, clothing room, food pantry room, and praying with people after the services.

We also need volunteers for different functions like the public Food Pantries and Shining Star Club meetings.

We do allow the homeless to wash their clothes on Tuesday-Thursday from 9-1. We are in need of laundry detergent, bleach, and fabric softener to help out with expenses.

Online donations can be made soon via our website.
