Welcome To Iva's Place

happy child drawing In 2005, Iva's Place was formed as a community based 501c3 non profit agency serving women in crisis. The former Feed My Children Missionary site in Lenoir City, TN, founded by Fate and Iva Evans, was leased and named Iva's Place in honor of the beloved Iva Evans and in memory of her heartfelt love of the poor. Iva's Place staff and volunteers continue to follow her example of loving service to people in crisis.

holding hands Our goal is to provide a bridge built with non judgemental, non discriminating immediate and long term vital assistance to those in need. By collaborating with other service agencies, we will act as a catalyst by offering empowerment skills to women and their children, which can be successfully used to help redirect their futures and the future of the greater community.
