CONTACT Care Line opens new call center

In December we passed along the news that our friends at CONTACT Care Line would open a new call center this year.
We’re excited to convey an update that the call center opened in January. We have no doubt that the dedicated staff and volunteers have been enjoying the new space. They have temporary furniture in place. Why is it only temporary? This worthy organization is getting some decorating help from professionals. From a recent mailing:
The Interior Design Society of East TN is working with us to plan, design, furnish, and decorate our new space. We’ll roll out the red carpet and invite you to come for a look once they’ve finished giving us an HGTV styled make-over! The wonderful professionals of the Interior Design Society are donating their time and expertise to give our volunteers a beautiful and highly functional setting in which to work. And, CONTACT is deeply grateful!
We’re so happy to hear this fantastic news and hope you’ll join us in congratulating this awesome organization. There’s nothing quite like a professional space that was designed with love and purpose and care to make the staff and volunteers of a helpline feel valued and appreciated as they do hard, life-saving work.
If you’re lucky enough to live in the Knoxville area, we hope you’ll consider attending CONTACT Care Line’s “Bursting the Blues” event on March 5th that will benefit the crisis call center. More details and ticket information is available here.We always want to spread the word about the great work and accomplishments of helplines. Got a story to share? Please !
