The staff and board of AIO invite the community to visit AIO on Tuesday, May 19, from 4 - 6 p.m., for their annual Open House. The event will take place rain or shine at AIO, 1A Gordon Drive. All are welcome.

The Open House will provide visitors the opportunity to learn about AIO’s six core programs, which will have demonstration stations staffed by volunteers explaining each program.

"In addition to learning about programs, the Open House is an opportunity to connect with friends and community members," said AIO, in a news release.

There will be information available for anyone who is interested in learning about volunteer opportunities.  

 Drinks and light snacks will be available, generously provided by the Samoset Resort. 

Now in our 36th year, AIO Food and Energy Assistance provides nutritious food and heating assistance to Knox County families without judgement, always with compassion. Funding and access to AIO’s programs are more critical than ever as food insecurity in Knox County is projected to continue to increase. Knox County currently has the 4th highest food insecurity rate in the state. During the past year, AIO has supported over 2,100 unique households, which is more than 12% of Knox County. AIO has distributed more than 100,000 meals and snacks to students through our weekend meals program. AIO’s Energy Assistance Program helps households with heating assistance or electrical disconnection prevention. AIO provides a direct path for donors to assist our community by putting your donation to work immediately.
