Mission
At SMILE, our mission is to support foster families caring for children in foster care, assist kinship and at-risk families working directly with the state by providing for children as they transition into homes. We fulfill our mission by fulfilling immediate needs with the help of contributions, both monetary and physical items, given by our local community. SMILE uses direct, practical, and impactful kindness to provide for the foster care community throughout Northeast Tennessee.
Our Involvement
We partnered with Frontier Health to raise support for the essential mental and behavioral health services they provide throughout Northeast Tennessee and Southwest Virginia. Frontier Health delivers compassionate care, treatment, and support to individuals and families facing behavioral health challenges. Through our personal support efforts, we’re able to contribute to their mission of improving quality of life and providing hope where it is needed most.
