About Us
KARM Stores is a group of thrift stores created as a funding source for Knox Area Rescue Ministries (KARM) to help support their essential programs with 100% of our profits. KARM meets the immediate needs of their guests by providing food, shelter, and health care. Once their immediate needs are met, they take the time to find the root cause of the guests’ homelessness to help them get the tools and resources to find sustainable employment and housing.
This thrift store is conveniently located next to Kroger and is packed full of amazing treasures that you won’t find anywhere else. Stop by to see what this store has to offer.

Connecting The Dots From Knoxville to Alcoa
When guests arrive at Knox Area Rescue Ministries (KARM), they are asked to provide the address of their last residence. This information is used to track where the guests are coming to us from. Outside of Knox County, there were 62 other Tennessee counties recorded. Of those counties, Blount County ranked third for the highest number of guests served (reported Feb. 2025). This accounts for approximately 7.3% of Tennessee guests who reported their last known address when they arrived at KARM. KARM Stores is used as a funding source for KARM, as we provide 100% of our profits to support KARM and all of their amazing programs.
Even though the building is in Knoxville, the impact is felt across East Tennessee. Thank you for supporting your community by shopping with us!
Corners of Your Field
Corners of Your Field is a partnership between local churches and Knox Area Rescue Ministries. Corners of Your Field encourages members of your church to be intentional about selecting their gently-used household items for donation to KARM Stores. KARM Stores then returns a portion of the donation’s value in the form of gift cards to your church to be used to help those directly in your community. Be sure to provide your phone number and partner’s name so they can get credit for your donation.
