The Thrift Store with a Mission
Welcome to East Tennessee’s most popular thrift store!
KARM Stores is not your average thrift store; it’s better! When you enter one of our 25+ stores, you will find a friendly staff, encouraging music, and unique secondhand treasures you can’t find in big box stores.
We receive amazing donations from our generous donors and work hard to ensure that those donations are used to support the work of Knox Area Rescue Ministries (KARM). 100% of our profits go directly to KARM to provide meals, job training, life skills, healthcare, and more. So, while you’re shopping, you’re also doing great things for those in need right here in East Tennessee.
Whether you’re shopping on a budget, repurposing used furniture or jewelry, or are in need of some retail therapy, everyone can find something to suit their taste at KARM Stores.
Our Mission
REVEAL Christ to all of our donors, customers, volunteers, and team members.
TELL the KARM story at every opportunity.
PROVIDE funding to KARM with 100% of our profits.
