Posted: 09/16/2019
SOS logoThe City of Knoxville Save Our Sons initiative will host a community resource fair from 10 a.m.- 3 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 28, 2019 at Honey Rock Victorious Church Event Center, 4113 Holston Drive.

Residents who have had trouble finding employment due to a criminal record, lack of a state ID or other barriers will benefit from attending the resource fair. In response to these common challenges, the University of Tennessee College of Law and Knox County Public Defender’s Office will conduct an expungement screening at the fair to help participants determine which offenses are eligible to be removed. The Tennessee Department of Safety Mobile Unit will assist individuals with driver’s license reinstatements, renewals, duplicates and Real IDs.

Attendees will be able to receive NARCAN training from the Metro Drug Coalition and get additional information from Job Corps, Police Advisory and Review Committee (PARC), CONNECT Ministries, the Family Justice Center and other community partners.
