What a year it's been! One of the best parts of my job is welcoming people to our community and I've had the pleasure of watching someone look through The Knoxville Starter Kit after receiving one. It's FULL of goodies that showcase our amazing business partners. ❤️
One year in and we’re feeling grateful for what The Knox Collective is becoming.
Over the past year, we’ve welcomed new residents through 63 Knoxville Starter Kits, partnered with 33 local businesses and organizations, and had the opportunity to help people feel a little more connected as they settle into our community.
One of the coolest parts? Watching people move to Knoxville from all over — from nearby Iowa towns to states like Colorado, Texas, Florida, California, and beyond — all drawn here by family, opportunity, affordable housing, and the appeal of small-town living.
This initiative only works because of local businesses who believe in showing up for community. If you’re a business owner who wants to get involved, we’d love to connect. Whether it’s including an offer, item, coupon, flyer, or simply finding a way to welcome new people to town, there’s room for you at the table.
