Each month, CASA of East Tennessee shines a spotlight on a particular volunteer who has gone above and beyond in their service of Knox County children. This month, we would like to offer a round of applause to Jennifer Thompson!

We asked Jennifer what drew her to volunteering with CASA and how it has impacted her life.

"I’ve always enjoyed working with children. Especially those going through tough times. It is always a joy to see deserving families reunited."

Jennifer and her husband, David, have lived in Knoxville for 27 years. They are parents of 12 children and grandparents of 4. Their youngest child and 3 year old grandchild currently reside in their home, along with their 160 lb Bernese Mountain dog and Addie, their Bernedoodle.

In their free time, they enjoy traveling, especially going on cruises. They look forward to a trip to Barcelona in September of this year.




Thank you Jennifer!
