GIVE
It’s true — when you give, you change lives.
Every time we can remove a pain point or lift someone up by giving them an experience they would not have had, it’s made possible because of your giving.
As Giving Members to the Open Arms Care Foundation you are supporting the mission of Open Arms Care clients through your gift.
Your gift is pledged to provide for adaptive equipment, specialty medication, dental care, professional sporting events, Dollywood admissions, concert tickets and celebrations of life; all services that are not compensated through our other sources of funding.
This year we are specifically looking to secure donations in the amount of $6,500 for dentures, so one of our clients can chew his food without having it blended.
This year we are specifically looking to secure donations in the amount of $20,000 for our Family Christmas celebrations for 200+ families.
The Power of You
It’s Easy

Memorial Giving
Memorial giving is a wonderful and meaningful way to remember and memorialize our loved ones. Many friends and family members will choose to give a memorial gift in lieu of flowers.
If a Giver chooses, memorial gifts may be given to Open Arms Care Foundation. These gifts make a powerful difference to the life and mission of the clients in Open Arms Care’s. Undesignated memorial gifts are contributed to the general gifting budget, supporting ongoing programs, operations, and personnel of the foundation.
Memorial gifts may be given to the Open Arms Care Foundation. The Foundation exists to support the clients in our care by providing for their social, financial, physical and mental needs, which are not funded through other sources.
Designating a Gift
Designated memorial gifts can be given to specific programs (i.e. Pumpkin Fest, Summer Camperships, Horticulture, Community Concert Series, etc) or Regional Gifting to be utilized in one of our five regions: OAC West (Memphis), OAC Central (Nashville), OAC South (Chattanooga), OAC East (Knoxville) or OAC Northeast (Greeneville).
