The CARES Program provides support and educational opportunities for participants which will assist them in achieving academic success.

S.T.E.P. (Summer Time Enrichment Program) – $20,000

W.I.S.E. (Wellness in Senior Education) – $8,500
Wesley House’s Wellness In Senior Education (W.I.S.E.) program works with marginalized, socially isolated senior citizens in the Mechanicsville, Beaumont, Lonsdale, and East Knoxville communities. We meet every Friday for a hot, nutritious meal, fellowship and their favorite game, Bingo. Our staff is in constant contact with our clients to assess day to day needs, help connect them to resources, and to provide our participants with fresh fruits and vegetables.

The main mission of the United Way funded program, WISE, at Wesley House Community Center is to address specific needs of senior citizens in Knoxville who live below the poverty level. To people of WISE, it’s more than just a program. It is an opportunity to connect with other seniors and shake off their troubles.
