Senate Joint Resolution 1488, sponsored by Massey, commemorates the sixtieth anniversary of the Knoxville-Knox County Community Action Committee (K-KC CAC). Established in 1964, K-KC CAC has dedicated itself to promoting family self-sufficiency and independent living for low-income and vulnerable individuals through a variety of services. The organization is locally governed and has successfully implemented numerous programs, including the Mobile Meals initiative, which provides nutritious meals and safety checks to 1,100 seniors in Knox County each weekday.
The resolution acknowledges the significant impact K-KC CAC has had over the past six decades in addressing local needs and enhancing community welfare. It highlights the organization's commitment to helping low-income citizens and caring for seniors, particularly through its participation in the national March for Meals campaign. The resolution expresses commendation for the board members, staff, and volunteers of K-KC CAC and extends best wishes for their continued success in improving the lives of Tennessee residents.
