AAF Volunteers Spread Holiday Cheer with the Empty Stocking Fund

Published on 12/23/2025

Festive hats, jingle bells, and plenty of helping hands filled the Jacob Building at Chilhowee Park as AAF Knoxville volunteers teamed up with Designsensory and Goodway Cares to support the Empty Stocking Fund. Together, volunteers from the AAF board and membership rolled up their sleeves to load food boxes and spread holiday cheer to families across East Tennessee.

The Empty Stocking Fund, a Knoxville tradition since 1912 is a 100% local, volunteer-powered organization focused on helping families facing food insecurity, especially during the holidays. 

We’re incredibly thankful for everyone who gave their time, energy, and festive spirit to make this day a success. If you couldn’t join us in person, you can still be part of the impact by donating at esfknox.org. Thanks to you, the season is a little brighter for our neighbors in need. 🎄
