This year was the ninth benefit luncheon in Knoxville, Tennessee known as the Cup of Hope, a key component in the support and development of the Joy D. Baker Center, the domestic violence recovery home at The Salvation Army in Knoxville.

Each year Cup of Hope provides a much-needed focus on domestic violence that occurs in the Knoxville area as well as highlighting those that become victors through the Joy D. Baker Program. The Center has served more than 80 individuals in 2022, individuals that found rescue and restoration from a life of domestic violence.

Salvation Army officer, Major Paula Henderson stated,

“Our annual Cup of Hope event is important for raising funds for our domestic violence program at the Joy Baker Center, “However, our fundraising and our efforts are only effective if we continue to raise awareness about the issue of domestic violence.”
