AN OVERVIEW
Hawkins County Rich History
Hawkins County is rich in local history heritage. Several locations to visit while in the area are listed below.
The Heritage Association of Rogersville and the Rogersville/Hawkins County Chamber of Commerce have a pamphlet available of a walking tour of Rogersville.
ROGERSVILLE
Historic Rogersville, is one of the state’s oldest towns, was founded in 1775 by Joseph Rogers and settled by the grandparents of Davy Crockett.
Whether you are a history buff or just enjoy the scenery, you are sure to be charmed by the architecture and brick side walks, lined with period lighting in the downtown district, which is on the National Register of Historic places.
Once a part of the famous Wilderness Road, Main Street is home to Federalstyle buildings surrounding the town square, and has remained virtually intact since 1789.
Rogersville flourished due to its location on an important stage road that connected Atlanta to Washington, DC, with routes to Kentucky and the Cumberland settlements. As a result several inns and taverns were built here, including Rogers Tavern, at 205 South Rogers Street (1786). One guest who stayed at the tavern was future President Andrew Jackson. Another Tavern that Jackson stayed at was McKinney’s Tavern, now named Hale Springs Inn.
Rogersville has had an illustrious history, reflected both in brilliant statesmen and businessmen and in its many productive industries. Today it reflects its gracious past in its homes and buildings and in the cordial manner of its citizens.
Hale Springs Inn
The inn was built in 1824 and was the
oldest continuously-operated inn in Tennessee. It is one of the contributing properties in the Rogersville Historic district.
John McKinney, a local lawyer and businessman, built the inn in 1824-25. He built it in order to compete with Rogers’ Tavern, which was operated by the founder of Rogersville, Joseph Rogers.
McKinney constructed a massive, three-story Federal style building that housed a tavern and guestrooms.
McKinney’s plan was to build a larger, brick inn directly on the road to compete with both of Rogers’ buildings. In 1823, he began construction on a massive, three-story, Federal style building that would house facilities for a true tavern bar, but also individual guest rooms on the different floors. The building also featured an impressive balcony over its door that would feature prominently later in its history. Noted guest to the inn during the 19th century were U.S. Presidents Andrew Johnson, James K. Polk and Andrew Johnson.
During the American Civil War when the Union forces captured the town, they used the inn as their headquarters. Ironically when the Confederacy retook Rogersville during the battle of Big Creek in 1863, they used the Kyle House as their headquarters, which was across the street from the inn.
In 1988 the inn closed and was Tennessee’s oldest continuously operating inn. The Rogersville Heritage Association purchased the inn in 1998 and launched a renovation project which exceeded 2.1 million in 2009. https://www.halespringsinn.com/
Hale Springs Inn is located at 110 W. Main St. Crockett Spring Park
David Crockett and his wife, Eliza-
beth Hedge Crockett received a 281 acre land grant and built a log cabin near a large spring. It became known as Crockett Spring. It is now home to Crocket Spring Park and Arboretum. It is the centerpiece of the downtown Rogersville area. In September of 2013 the Certified Tennessee Arboretum was dedicated and features 36 varieties of trees. It is the perfect location for pictures, weddings, picnics or strolls. The park features a gazebo which can be rented for special occasions. For more information, call the Rogersville Heritage Association at 2721961. https://www.rogersvilleheritage. org/crockett-spring-park
Crocett Spring Park is located in the historic downtown area at 200 Crockett St.
Joseph Rogers Tavern
In 1786, Joseph Rogers built an inn on what is now 205 S. Rogers St. The original log-and-stone structure is now under clapboard siding.
Legend tells about an early visitor to Rogers Tavern. One day, a stranger came to the inn and asked for a room. The landlady showed him a room that he could share with two other gentlemen. The stranger proceeded to make disparaging remarks about a town that could not offer a gentleman a private room. Another guest at the inn overheard the remarks and seized the stranger by the arm ushering the stranger to the corncrib out back and threw him in. Once locked inside, the stranger was asked if he was willing to apologize and accept the first-offered room. He agreed. The guest who requested the apology was none other than Andrew Jackson. https://www.rogersvilleheritage.org/joseph-rogers-tavern
The Incredible Story of an Early African-American College
Swift Memorial College complex is a restored building that now serves as memorial museum and warm, accommodating public gathering space and is all that remains of the sprawling institution. This is the story below as copied from their website, swiftmuseum.org.
In East Tennessee, at the close of the Civil War, the Presbyterian Church of the United States of America found itself somewhat adrift and disorganized. In taking its bearings and considering its re-organization in 1863, it discovered that it had a new factor to deal with in taking up anew the work of the Master. That new factor was the newly-emancipated Freedmen. The change of affairs and relations which had been produced in their condition before the war, made it necessary for the Church to reconsider them in its re-organization and rehabilitation, and to determine not only its attitude toward them, but what they would do with them and for them.
It began the organization of Presbyterian Churches and parochial schools among the Freedmen, and threw open the doors of Maryville College for their higher education. The churches and schools grew and prospered to such an extent, and the local conditions became such that it was soon manifest the Maryville College did not and would not do the work which was needed to be done, and that something else should be done to relieve the situation. The conclusion was reached that another school similar to Maryville College should be established somewhere for the benefit of the Freedmen.
In canvassing the situation, it was thought by those most prominent and interested in the matter, that Rogersville, was the place for the school. For the founding and propagation of the
school, the providence of God pointed to Mr. W. H. Franklin, of Knoxville, a student of Maryville College. Mr. Franklin graduated from Maryville College in 1880. In 1883, he completed his theological course at Lane, and in June of the same year, entered upon the work to which he was chosen. In September, 1883, he began the work of teaching in a rough and open frame building which was made possible by underpinning and putting newspapers on the unplastered walls. The school grew from that small beginning through the most strenuous, persistent and bitter opposition, until it has become favorably and widely known as Swift Memorial College. The success of the work has been due to the fact that God was in the work; labor, faith and prayers behind it; the help of a great Church beneath it, and the pressing need of a great race before it.
The Board of Missions for Freedmen, desiring to honor a great and good man, and true friend of the race, suggested that the school be called Swift Memorial Institute, in memory of the Rev. E. E. Swift, D.D., who was for many years, the beloved pastor of the First Presbyterian Church, Allegheny, and the esteemed President of the Freedmen’s Board at his death.
The objective of the school were to give colored youth a solid education in arts and sciences, to train and prepare them for domestic duties and the practicla business of life, to equip and prepare eficient and suitable teachers for the public and other schools, and to make good, intelligent citizens and to provide Christian workers for the duties and requirements of the church.
The College consisted of three buildings situated on six acres, more or less, for the accommodation of its students. The main building was a modern brick building of three stories. It is an attractive building, and is used as a dormitory for girls, class rooms, domestic and general purposes. The rooms for young ladies were large, comfortable, well lighted and ventilated. They were provided with all necessary furniture, including bedding. The boy’s building was also a brick
structure. It had three stories and an attic for dormitory purposes. Provisions were made for students to do their own laundry work in both buildings. Park Cottage is a small frame building, situated between the two buildings above and is used for the accommodations of little girls. A limited number of small girls can be accommodated and cared for in it.

The large boxwoods remaining in the front yard are more than 150 years old.
CHURCH HILL
Church Hill was established as a trading post and stagecoach stop called Spencer’s Mill and Patterson Mill in the late 18th century. It obtained it’s name following the establishment of a Methodist church on a hill overlooking the Holston River valley, which still stands today on Grandview St. Church Hill was incorporated in 1958.
Church Hill is located 19.1 miles from Rogersville.
Tennessee Newspaper and Printing Museum
In the year 1791, George Roulstone, the first printer to enter the State of Tennessee, took his press apart in Fayetteville, North Carolina, packed it on horses’ back or in wagons and trekked over the trails of the Blue Ridge Mountains into the Holston Valley where Kingsport now stands. There, on the banks of the Holston River at James King’s Boat Yard, he loaded it on a flatboat and floated it down to Rogersville where he set it up and started printing the Knoxville Gazette, the first piece of printing ever attempted in Tennessee.
In crossing over the valley to reach the river, Roulstone passed over the spot where the Kingsport Press, once the largest book producing plant in the world, would one day operate. And when he finally got to Rogersville and started his
The museum is located at 401 S. Depot St.

A number of locations are on the Tennessee Historical Commission Historic Markers list. They are as follows: Carter’s Store, Patterson’s Mill, Rice’s Mill, Smith Place.
Amis House
Amis House was built by Thomas Amis, the father-in-law of Joseph Rogers, as a pioneer settlement. His stone house served as an inn for travelers. A tavern, general story, distillery, saw mill and grist mill was later established by Amis. The buildings were surround by a stakewall for protection.
The Amis House is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and ownership has remained in the Amis family.
The house is located 3.3 miles from Rogersville at 677 Burem Road.
In 2017, Holston Electric Cooperative (HEC) saw a need to provide advanced communication solutions, such as highspeed internet, phone and television programming, to customers in Hawkins and Hamblen counties. The plan was to install a broadband fiber network in the area. By developing HolstonConnect, they are able to provide internet, telephone and television programming to areas that were not provided for. Holstonconnect is a not-for-profit and wholly -owned subsidiary of HEC.
James Sandlin, general manager for Holston Electric, informed the Hawkins County Commission in 2017 that studies showed that 40 percent of the cooperative’s customers didn’t have access to high-speed internet services at their homes. Sandlin explained that a subsidiary called HolstonConnect had been formed to provide broadband services to Holston Electric’s Hawkins, Hamblen and Greene County territories. He said that phase I was to build a system-wide broadband service and plans were to have the building of the fiberr optic cable broadband system finished by 2023.
Sandlin said that HolstonConnect had
110 miles of active plant (working fiber optic lines), about 340 miles of main fiber optic lines in place and about 940 miles left to build. The pace of the construction depended on obtain grants from the Appalachian Regional Commission, the Tennessee Department of Economic and Community Development and other resources available. He stated that fiber optic cable was being placed on Holston Electrice power poles to build the backbone.
On Aug. 21, 2020, state officials awarded $5.5 million to HolstonConnect from a $61 million in emergency broadband grants through the Tennessee Emergency Broadband Fund. The
Tennessee Emergency Broadband Fund
was created due to the necessity of providing high-speed broadband availibilty to all citizens due to the impact of COVID-19. With the closure of schools, the shift of working from home instead of a primary work location, and medical facilities closing made it necessary to provide high-speed broadband internet to members of communities the ability to function equally in society in hard to reach areas. The funding was dedicated to providing the service to portions of Rogersville-North and the Pressman’s Home area and to a portion of the Persia area. In doing so more than 2,300 homes, businesses and industries were provided
this needed service.
HolstonConnect had connected more than 7,500 customers to the fiber optic broadband network by the start of 2021. The five-year fiber deployment was to be completed by the end of June 2021 two years ahead of schedule. Holston continued to pursue additional grants in order to include a Fiber-To-The-Meter Smart Grid component. By implementing this element it would make the big box providers ineligible for grant funds, there by allowing high-speed internet to be available for the 40 percent of last-mile members.
What makes HolstonConnect different?
HolstonConnect improves the quality of high-speed internet for customers enabling them to engage in the online world. HolstonConnect offers ultra-fast upload, download and transfer data speeds. They are the first provider of a gig internet service to Hawkins County, with no data caps, and no throttling of upload speeds. They provide technical support, and consistent pricing for existing and new members. They improve the online experience for multiple users and devises operated by it’s members.

The locations building included administration buildings, the home building, a Tuberculosis sanitorium, Hotel Pressuaina, Memorial Chapel and a trade school.
In the mid-1960s, the U.S. federal government was lobbied by competing union that the rural East Tennessee location of the union was a determent to the interest of the union. The headquarters was moved in 1967 due to lack of funding and merger with other printing union. The home was closed in 1969 after providing retirement facilities for union members.
Over the years there has been attempts to revive the site, which included a tourist resort, retirement community and even a state penitentiary. In the 1970s, an investment group partially re-developed the site into a resort with tracts of land set aside for vacation homes. A golf course and country club are the only active projects.

A Walk Through Time - Rogersville HERITAGE / HISTORY
As treaties were made with Indian tribes and land companies opened vast tracts of land west of the Appalachian Mountains, an increasing flood of settlers moved into the western country of North Carolina and Virginia. General settlement of what is now Hawkins County began in the late 1760s and early 1770s. Following the Revolutionary War in 1784, North Carolina ceded leaving the scene of an accident western lands to the United State Government to help pay for leaving the scene of an accident share of the war debt. Soon after, a convention of delegates from Washing, Greene and Sulllivan counties met to form a new state, Franklin. But North Carolina then repealed leaving the scene of an accident law and reclaimed leaving the scene of an accident Western lands. The State of Franklin existed in opposition to North Carolina’s claim until 1788 when it
finally collapsed and the area submitted once again to the rule of North Carolina.
In 1787, Hawkins County North Carolina was created by the North Carolina legislature. County commissioners voted to locate the county seat at Joseph Rogers’ place on Crockett Creek. A combination courthouse and jail were built where the old Presbyterian Cemetery now stands, and the community was known as Hawkins Court House.
In 1790, North Carolina again ceded leaving the scene of an accident western lands to the United States, and Hawkins County the became the territorial capital at James White’s Fort in present day Knoxville. Tennessee became the 16th state in 1796.
Rogersville’s founder, Joseph Rogers,
was born in 1764 in Tyrone County, Ireland. He immigrated to the United States in 1781 and came south to this area where he found work at the plantation of Thomas Amis, located on Big Creek, just east of the present town of Rogersville. In 1786, Rogers eloped with Mary, Amis’ 16-year old daughter. Relations between Thomas Amis and his son-in-law, Rogers, were never cordial.
In 1786, Rogers purchased a 281-acre tract of land from Robert Crockett (David Crockett’s uncle) following the death of Robert Crockett’s parents (David Crockett’s grandparents) in an Indian attack at the site of Crockett Spring Park. That piece of land was the site of the soon-to-be established town of Rogersville.
In 1789, the North Carolina legislature passed a bill, which was presented
by Joseph Rogers and his partner, James Hagan, to change the name of the town from Hawkins Court House to Rogersville. Thomas Amis was one of the surveyors who laid out the 30-acre town on Rogers’ land.
Hawkins County was a great thoroughfare as settlers bound for Kentucky and middle Tennessee made their way through the area following the Holston River and the great Wilderness Road through Cumberland Gap into Kentucky. With the traffic came new settlers and trade for the Inns in Rogersville. Joseph Rogers built his first tavern and Inn on present-day Rogers Street in 1786. In the 1820s, Rogersville’s Absolom Kyle stated a stagecoach line from Bristol to Knoxville, and the Atlanta to Washington stagecoach line also passed
through the town. In 1827, attorney and landowner John McKinney built what is now Hale Springs Inn.
George Roulston and Robert Ferguson printed the Knoxville Gauzette, the first newspaper in the Territory South of the River Ohio here in 1791. In 1792, Roulston moved the press to Knoxville, the new capital of the territory. Rogersville’s Tennessee Newspaper and Printing Museum reflects the area’s long involvement with the printing industry. Sawmills and gristmills were an important factor in early industry. The marble industry began in Rogersville in the late 1830s. The unique pink and read marble quarried in the area was used in the Tennessee state house and in the National Capital of Washington.
Rogersville has had an illustrious career, reflected both in the brilliant statesmen and businessmen it has produced and in leaving the scene of an accident many productive industries. Today, it reflects leaving the scene of an accident gracious past in leaving the scene of an accident homes and buildings and in the cordial manner of leaving the scene of an accident citizens. It is a genial Place to visit and, even more, a delightful place to call home.
The Heritage Association of Rogersville is dedicated to the preservation and restoration of historic buildings and historic areas in Robersville, to the education of citizens about their heritage, and to work with the City of Rogersville and the Chamber of commerce to improve the economic structure of Rogersville. They are located at 417 S. Depot St., Rogersville. For more information call 272-1961, email rha@xtn. net or visit their website at www.rogers-

HERITAGE / HISTORY
The history of the Rogersville Review
Located in the “Cradle of Tennessee Journalism,” where the state’s first newspaper was printed by George Roulstone in 1791—also the third newspaper West of the Appalachian Mountains—The Rogersville Review was founded by Will Robertson on July 23, 1885. Under its current names, as well as The Holston Review, it has remained the newspaper of record for Hawkins County and its communities for more than a century.
While the newspaper began as a weekly publication, today, it is printed twice weekly on Wednesday and Friday.
One of the newspaper’s most celebrated publishers was the late Eleanor Sheets, who passed away before The Review’s centennial celebration on July 18, 1985.
The Newport Plain Talk employed Eleanor and her husband, the late J. Fred
Sheets, before they relocated to Rogersville in 1932 at the request of Major George L. Berry, president of the International Printing Pressmen and Assistants Union, which was headquartered in Hawkins County at that time.
Berry hired the Sheets, along with Spurgeon Akers, to manage The Review.
Though Akers left the paper soon afterward, it was in 1958 that Fred, who served as publisher and editor, passed away and left the paper to his widow.
THE SHEETS ERA
Eleanor became the new publisher and editor, and continued to publish The Review until her death.
A legendary character, among the first female publishers, Mrs. Sheets was widely recognized as a champion of her commu-
nity.
During her years at The Review, she often campaigned for safer highways and is credited with having coined the phrase “Bloody 11W,” in the years before the construction of four-lane “superhighway” U.S. 11W through Hawkins County.
Sheets’ keen publishing ability took her all the way to the White House in the 1960s, where she was the only female publisher among dozens of other members of the press to dine with President John F.Kennedy in the White House Dining Room. (Sheets is pictured above in a white hat, seated next to President Kennedy.)
Her columns were well read and bear re-reading just for their construction and use of words, if not the content that offers readers today a glimpse of journalism in another era.
Copies are available for perusing at The Review office, as well as on microfilm through the Hawkins County Library System.
It was Eleanor who also introduced one of the Southeast’s first African-American columnists, Beatrice Cope, who began writing for The Review at the height of the Segregation Era. Mrs. Cope continued writing for The Review until shortly before her death in the early 2000s.
Other popular columnists introduced by Sheets included the late “Snookie” Burns and the late Mildred Shortt, whose local viewpoints and stories were a popular read for many years.
It was also in Eleanor’s time that The Rogersville Review became the last such letterpress weekly newspaper in Tennessee.
In July 1981, a conversion was made to cold type, photocomposition, and other state-of-the-art mechanical processes. And today, well the process is even more refined, with pages constructed on computers, sent electronically to the Greeneville Sun, where it is sent directly to a plate and then put on the press to print.
A TIME OF CHANGE
At the time of Eleanor’s death, her grandson, W. Andes Hoyt, who had served as associate editor, assumed the role of editor and publisher.
In 1988, he and his sister, Lace Hoyt Stevens sold The Review to Jones Media, Inc., led by John M. Jones Sr., and his family, which includes the president of Hawkins County Publishers Inc., Gregg Jones.
Doug Morris was named publisher and editor on May 23, 1988, bringing 25 years of newspaper experience with him, having started as a reporter at the Morristown Daily Gazette-Mail.
Following Morris on October 15, 1990, Ellen M. Addison (Myatt) was named publisher. Myatt previously served as publisher of The Smyth County News, Marion, Virginia.
It was during Myatt’s tenure that The Review became a twice-weekly publication.
In 1997, Kevin Burcham, former advertising director for The Mountaineer in Waynesville, N.C. was named publisher and editor. During this time, The Review moved to 316 E. Main Street (pictured above), from it’s Washington Street location, where it had been since 1953.
On January 15, 2001, Bill Parsons was named publisher.
It was during his tenure that The Review converted to an all-mail delivery system.
On June 19, 2006, Ellen May Addison Myatt resumed leadership after serving nearly 10 years as publisher of The Business Journal for Tri-Cities Tennessee/Virginia, Blountville, Tennessee.
On July 1, 2009, Jesse Lindsey was named editor and publisher of the newspaper.
During Lindsey’s time at The Review, a lifestyles publication Discover Hawkins County Magazine, was launched.
On November 11, 2013, Tommy Campbell was named editor and publisher, bringing more than 33 years of experience in publishing newspapers in Alabama and North Carolina.
THE FUTURE
Through the years,The Rogersville Review has expanded its news coverage to include all Hawkins County communities, as well as coverage from events in neighboring Hancock and Grainger Counties.
Today, The Review not only publishes two editions of its original newspaper, but also the Discover magazine series, Hawkins County Great Homesearch, and Hawkins County Marketplace.
The newspaper’s online presence also continues to grow, meeting the ever-changing needs of 21st Century journalism, with the establishment of the new, interactive website and online subscription service in 2014.
The Review also offers daily news updates and additional reader commentary on Facebook.

How To Get A Passport GOVERNMENT / CITIZENSHIP
A United States passport verifies to other governments and officials that the holder is a U.S. citizen.
A passport may be obtained by any American citizen who has not been convicted of a felony.
For people traveling outside the United States, passport applications are available at the Hawkins County Chancery Court office at 100 E. Main St., Rogersville. Applications are also available online at www.travel.state. gov.
Visas, which are stamped into the U.S. passport, are required for entry into some countries, but not for all.
To determine whether a visa is necessary to enter the country you are planning to visit, call or check the particular country’s embassy website.
Vaccinations are not required in order for a resident to return to the U.S., but immunizations are required for entrance into certain other countries.
For more information on immunizations, contact the Hawkins County Health Center at 272-7641. The department is located at 201 Park Boulevard, Rogersville.
APPLICATION PROCESS
The first step in obtaining a passport is to go online at www.travel.state.gov or pick up an application at the Hawkins County Chancery Court office.
Next, make an appointment with the Hawkins County Chancery Court Office and bring the following: one proof of U.S. citizenship, one proof of identity and two proper photographs (see details below).
For a U.S.- born citizen, proof of citizenship would be a certified copy of one’s birth certificate, a full- page certificate with the state’s embossed, multi-colored seal.
If you do not own a copy of your birth certificate, then submit a registrar’s notice of birth in addition to a hospital birth record, school or family records, etc. Evidence must include given name and surname, birth date and place, and signature of the issuing official.
A citizen born outside the U.S. must submit his or her previous U.S. passport, Certificate of Naturalization or citizenship or Report of a Birth Abroad.
For more information, one can call the post office at 272-8150.
A driver’s license is a sufficient proof of identity, but temporary licenses and learner’s permits are not permissible.
PHOTOGRAPHS NEEDED
The second step in procuring a passport is to have a set of two photographs made for the passport.
Each photograph must be 2-inch x 2-inch, must have been taken within the last six months and must present a front view of the
individual, sizing the face no smaller than 1-inch x 1 3/8-inches from the bottom of the chin to the top of the head (including hair). Both eyes must be open, with a neutral facial expression. Hats and/or sunglasses are not permissible.
A white or off-white background is required.
Passport photographs can be taken at the Hawkins County Chancery Court office before or on the day of the appointment for a cost of $10.
Full information regarding photo requirements is printed on the back of the passport application.
FEES FOR PASSPORTS
The third and final step toward obtaining a passport is to pay the fees required.
Passports for adults (16 years and over) cost $140 (this includes $110 to the U.S. Department of State and $30 to the USPS) and are valid for 10 years.
Passports for minors (under 16 years) cost $95 (this includes $80 to the U.S. Department of State and $15 to the USPS) and remain valid for five years after issuance.
To obtain a passport within two weeks, there is a $60 fee for expedited service, including a fee of $17.56 for return overnight postage.
Check or money order made payable to the U.S. Department of State is the method of payment.
The $35 fee for the postal service can be
paid by check, credit, debit, money order or cash.
APPLICANTS UNDER 18
Applicants under the age of 18 must be accompanied by one parent or legal guardian (with proper legal documentation) when returning the application.
Applicants under the age of 14 must be accompanied by both parents or legal guardian(s) and present:
1. evidence of the child’s U.S. citizenship;
2. evidence of child’s relationship to parents or guardian(s); and
3. parental identification.
If only one parent appears, one of the following must additionally be submitted:
• second parent’s written statement consenting to passport issuance for the child,
• primary evidence of sole authority to apply; or
• a written statement (made under penalty of perjury) explaining the second parent’s unavailability.
When an application is completed, the clerk will send it to the passport center in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

Isaiah 117 House Coming To Hawkins and Hancock Counties
Hawkins and Hancock County will soon have an Isaiah 117 House to meet the needs of children awaiting foster care placement.
Isaiah 117 house is a home that provides physical and emotional support in a safe and loving home for children awaiting foster care placement.
The kickoff event was held May 22 at the Rogersville Middle School. Rhonda Paulson was on hand to discuss the history and purpose of Isaiah 117 House. Alison Osborne has been named as the Expansion Coordinator.
In an article published in The Rogers-
ville Review published March 22, Osborne told the Review that Isaiah 117 House volunteers have begun a tradition of setting their alarms to 1:17 p.m. each day to pray over the organization, volunteers, children in DCS custody, caseworkers, foster families and biological families. Anyone interested in supporting the organization is encouraged to join in this tradition.
THE PURPOSE
When children are removed from their homes out of concern for their welfare, they are usually brought to the Depart-
ment of Children’s Services offices to await placement with a foster family. This wait can be several hours to nearly a full day. These children often have nothing with them and are scared, lonely, hungry and in dirty clothing.
Isaiah 117 provides a comforting home where these children instead can be brought to wait - a place that is safe with friendly and loving volunteers who provide clean clothes, smiles, toys, and snuggly blankets. This space allows children to receive the comfort and care they need while DCS staff can do the neces-
sary paperwork and identify a good foster placement.
DONATIONS
For ways to donate, readers can visit isaiah117house.com/donate and choose “Hawkins/Hancock Counties” from the drop-down menu.
