Catholic Charities of East Tennessee is a mid-sized nonprofit based in Knoxville, East Tennessee, delivering social services through nine programs across the region. It serves people in need regardless of race, income, or religion, with Catholics comprising less than five percent of its clients. The organization's client base includes children affected by abuse or neglect, seniors who are homebound or homeless, families in hardship such as immigrants and rural Appalachian communities, and individuals facing HIV/AIDS or chronic mental health issues who seek counseling and related services. Operating within the non-profit sector, CCETN aims to address diverse social and community needs across East Tennessee. In 2020 the organization earned the Bronze Seal of Transparency from GuideStar by Candid, reflecting its openness about programs and impact. It also launched '365 Days of Hope,' a virtual event aimed at supporting children in crisis.
