The following equation depicts KARM’s emphasis and is currently in use in all KARM materials: RESCUE + RELATIONSHIPS = RESTORATION Rescue Rescue, at its simplest point of definition, comes in the form of an immediate response to men, women and children who are in crisis and need a life preserver to pull them to safety. Rescue is provided through a needed meal, safe shelter, a clean bed, and the services of our staff and volunteers, offered with overwhelming biblical hospitality. Relationships Relationships with God and healthy Christ-like relationships with others are vital to moving forward toward restoration. Relationship building is woven into the fabric of every ministry opportunity, and is integral throughout the Crossroads, LaunchPoint, residential recovery and The Bridge transitional housing programs. Separate residential recovery programs for men and women provide the extended intensive relationship care in which the issues surrounding addiction and abuse can be addressed through a biblically sound program. Restoration Restoration is the desired result for those who come to KARM in need…restoration to God, self, family and community. When one is rescued and then develops healthy relationships, true restoration becomes possible. Hope is awakened and visions for a new life become attainable. 6
Knox Area Rescue Ministries serves Knox County and an extended area throughout East Tennessee as a non-profit Christian ministry providing rescue and recovery services in Jesus’ name. As such it receives no federal, state or local funding for the daily operational costs associated with the mission, nor does it receive funding through the annual effort of the United Way of Knox County. The KARM operating budget is just over $6 million with $1.5 million coming from thrift stores and $4.5 raised by the development team through individual contributions, direct mail and special events. Overall, KARM is a $13 million a year ministry with income from eighteen thrift stores and a robust Gift-In-Kind program. KARM is in the final stages of their $5 million “Restoring” capital campaign which will complete main campus facility enhancements and renovate the Serenity campus for women. Increased funding is necessary to expand our services to families, re-launch men’s residential recovery in a new location and move forward with the New Job New Life job training program. Further, the ministry has embarked on a bold new initiative that completely transforms the main campus into a model with an emphasis on learning, labor, and service that resembles Berea College in Berea, KY. KARM is a non-profit Christian ministry that holds 501(c) 3 status, thus allowing tax exemptions for all donated monetary and in-kind gifts. The work of the mission is carried out by the CEO under the oversight and care of a dedicated Board of Directors comprised of committed Christian men and women representing a diversity of backgrounds and expertise. 7
