Serving Our Community Beyond the Table

Our Approach

At Spaces in the City, hospitality is about more than creating unforgettable events, it's about caring for the community we call home. Every celebration, gathering, and partnership is an opportunity to give back, support meaningful causes, and make a lasting difference. Together with our clients, team, and community partners, we're proud to make every gathering matter.

emerald youth

At Spaces in the City, we are honored to support the incredible work of Emerald Youth Foundation and the young people they serve. Each year, we have the privilege of serving more than 1,000 guests at the Emerald Youth Prayer Breakfast, bringing our community together in support of the organization's mission.

Throughout the year, we also welcome students into our venues for hands-on learning experiences, giving them a behind-the-scenes look at careers in hospitality, catering, and events. From celebrating graduating seniors to hosting holiday gatherings, we're honored to create meaningful moments that encourage, inspire, and invest in the next generation.

Knox Area Rescue Ministries

We believe caring for our community extends beyond the guests we serve. Safe, unused food from our events is donated to Knox Area Rescue Ministries (KARM), where it can help provide nourishing meals for individuals and families in need throughout our community.

By partnering with KARM, we're able to help reduce food waste while ensuring that meals prepared with care continue to serve a meaningful purpose. It's one of the many ways we strive to make a positive impact, extending the spirit of hospitality and generosity long after an event has come to a close.

Supporting Those Who Serve Our Community

Each year, Spaces in the City is honored to host charitable galas, fundraisers, and community events across our venues, helping local organizations further their missions and make a lasting impact. We're proud to partner with nonprofits such as Survivor Fitness, Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, Renew Clinic, Koinonia Foundation, Humane Society of the Tennessee Valley, Magnolia Ministries, Men of Valor, and many other organizations making a difference throughout East Tennessee. It is a privilege to provide spaces where our community can come together to celebrate, give back, and support causes that strengthen our community.
