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.
Discover unique collectibles, antiques, and vintage merchandise at our thrift store in North Knoxville! This store is conveniently located in the Merchant Village Shopping Center near Outback Steakhouse. This store features a consistent flow of special finds to explore every day. It is also less than a mile away from our specialty store on Clinton Hwy, where we host KARM Stores Christmas in the fall and KARM Stores Limited in the Spring.

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.
