Heart of Giving
We strive to transform the community here in East Knoxville. The heart and soul of the Shora Foundation are its volunteers, but the foundation is based on the “heart of giving” mentality. The transformation of a community requires a commitment of more than nice platitudes. It requires the action of donations from individuals and the business community. The strength and the future of our communities of East Knoxville rely on our volunteers and the generosity of our donors. For in them is a love to see a struggling child transition into one of our future leaders. Every child is valuable and worth the investment of time, learning resources, and emotional development activities. Shora helps children learn development skills with other children in a safe environment. Shora is transforming the community one life at a time in the East Knoxville area.
