Knoxville Honors First Responders with a Free Lunch!
In a heartfelt tribute to those who keep our community safe, the bustling city of Knoxville is hosting a special event dedicated to honoring our law enforcement officers and first responders. Mark your calendars for Wednesday, November 20th, as the Jackson Terminal will transform into a hub of appreciation and goodwill from 11:00 a.m. until 2:00 p.m..
What’s Happening?
As part of the “Serving Those Who Protect” initiative, Spaces in the City Catering along with Harper Auto Square is joining forces to offer a delicious FREE lunch to all local heroes—those brave men and women who dedicate their lives to protecting our community. Whether you are on duty or off, if you’re a law enforcement officer, firefighter, or any first responder, you’re invited to enjoy a tasty meal on us. All you need to do is bring your badge, and there’s no limit to the number of officers or responders who can be served!
Live Broadcast and Special Guests
To make this event even more special, the Yarbrough Show will be broadcasting live from the venue between 10:00 a.m. and Noon. The airwaves will be buzzing with appreciation as popular on-air personalities like Phil Williams and Hallerin Hilton Hill join in to express their gratitude. It’s not just about the food; it’s about connecting with the community and recognizing the sacrifices that these first responders make every day.
Location & Logistics
The gathering will take place at the Jackson Terminal, located at 213 Jackson Avenue in downtown Knoxville. With plenty of room for everyone, it’s the perfect spot to unwind, share stories, and feel the love from the community. The event kicks off sharply at 11:00 a.m., so plan to arrive early to soak in the camaraderie and support!
Why It Matters
In these times, appreciation for our heroes is more valuable than ever. Events like these serve as a poignant reminder of the hard work, dedication, and risks that law enforcement and first responders undertake daily. They run towards danger when most of us would run away, ensuring our safety and well-being. A simple home-cooked meal is a small token of thanks for their immeasurable contributions to our lives.
Don’t Miss Out!
Mark the date and spread the word! If you know any officers or first responders, make sure to remind them to swing by Jackson Terminal on November 20th for this splendid gesture of gratitude from the Knoxville community. And remember, there’s plenty of food to go around—it’s a treat for everyone who puts their life on the line for us.
Looking Ahead
