We are excited to host our 2nd Annual “Clothed in Love” Winter Coat Blessing, which has been renamed this year in honor of our retiring pastor, Rev. Dr. Johnnie William Skinner, Sr.

Last year, we were blessed to distribute 352 coats to members of our community. This year, the response and generosity have been tremendous—we currently have approximately 1,200 coats in sizes for children and adults, and our prayer and goal is to give every coat away to someone who needs one.

The coat giveaway will be held on Saturday, October 10, 2026, at Mount Zion Baptist Church, 2714 Brooks Avenue, Knoxville, TN 37914. Coats are completely free. Each person may receive one coat, must be present, and must select a coat in his or her size.

We will also provide everyone attending with a free hot dog or hamburger, chips, and bottled water.
