Operation Backyard, a program of Knoxville Leadership Foundation, offers free minor home repairs to low-income homeowners. OBY offers several ways volunteers can contribute to home repairs. Weekend Service Project is a chance for groups of any size or age to sign up for a weekend of home repair. Volunteers can also sign up for full day or half day projects.
The need in the greater Knoxville area is great. We currently have over 400 low-income and disabled homeowners on our waiting list.

Mission Statement
The Knoxville Leadership Foundation serves the Knoxville area by connecting communities of resource with communities of need while reconciling people to Jesus Christ and to each other.
Description
KLF is a faith-based organization that believes our city can be transformed through reconciliation. Reconciliation occurs when people from different communities and walks of life roll up their sleeves, work side-by-side and really begin to understand and appreciate each other. This is what our programs do: they bring people together to work on targeted problems in our city that put people at serious risk. Our programs are effectively and efficiently staffed and managed. All people have to do is plug in, join in and watch transformation happen.
