Happy birthday to Tina Knight, MoxCar’s amazing brand storyteller! 📣🎉

In honor of her birthday, MoxCar is donating $100 to McNabb Center Military Services, which provides free support to military service members and their families. The providers are veterans themselves, offering firsthand understanding and compassionate care for veteran families.🎖️

“This picture was the first hug after my husband's second deployment with the Air Force supporting Operation Enduring Freedom in 2004, our first as a married couple," Tina said. "He was decorated for his achievements in many more deployments, but years of serving in war zones took a toll. Years later when we approached the brink of crisis, McNabb Military Services became a partner helping me work through issues that often arise when living with a veteran.”

Today, we celebrate Tina and the incredible heart she brings to MoxCar, our clients, her family, veterans causes and everywhere she goes! Drop a birthday wish in the comments.💙✨

IPS Success Story
At 23, Gabriel was unemployed and struggling with significant mental health challenges. After enrolling in OnTrack TN through McNabb Center, he began receiving comprehensive support — including medication, therapy, peer support, case management, and employment assistance through the Individualized Placement and Support (IPS) model.

IPS recognizes that work is an essential part of mental health recovery. From the beginning, employment was a priority for Gabriel. As he shared during his assessment:
“I want to be able to get a consistent job.”

With support from IPS, Gabriel secured a position with a major local retailer. Today, he has been employed and hospitalization-free for 18 months.

Recovery isn’t always easy, but Gabriel now has control over his life and confidence that his mental health challenges won’t stop him from pursuing his goals.

This holiday season was nothing short of magical because of our incredible community. Through five Elf Shopping Days, countless toy donations and the generosity of over 900 community sponsors, children and families in need experienced the joy of the holidays through our Dear Santa program.

We are especially grateful for the Beth Haynes 12 Days of Christmas Auction, which raised more than $125,000 to support Dear Santa. From festive decorating parties to the many volunteers who gave their time, energy and hearts, every detail came together to make this season bright.

A special thank you to the Junior League of Knoxville for decorating beautiful Christmas trees for our domestic violence shelter, bringing warmth, comfort and holiday cheer to families during a difficult time. 🎄

Thank you to everyone who sponsored, donated, volunteered and supported Dear Santa and the Beth Haynes 12 Day of Christmas auction.
