Volunteer programs and organizations are an active part of Tellico Village. In fact, more than 400 volunteers! This friendly community located near The Smokies seamlessly enjoys incorporating their social activities with volunteer initiatives. Folks interested in relocating to Tennessee won’t want to miss meeting the 2014 Happiest Community of the Year during the holidays to see what they’re up to next. Just recently, The Tellico Village Woodworkers Club participated in the Toys-For-Tots Program. This annual event occurs every December, and the members of this social club at Tellico Village get to show off their talents and make children happy at the same time.
These gifted volunteers built and donated more than 7,650 wooden toys from 2008 to 2014! The woodworkers create wooden horses, trucks, helicopters and more and then present them to Loudon County Sheriff. Both the woodworkers and Loudon County Sheriff coordinate the program, and help bring joy to the children living in the Knoxville suburbs. This club along with the 60 other social clubs bring happiness and cheer outside their private gates every season – It’s no wonder why this community won Real Estate Scorecard’s 2014 Bliss Award for Happiness Community of the Year!
