In 2011, planners also worked with Global Women of Blount County to plan a community-wide volunteer workday involving volunteers from multiple churches to help local agencies and families with needs.

In 2017, planners started CommunityWorx which at the time included the Volunteer Workdays, the Closet, ChristmasWishes, and the Pray-ers Programs. In the fall of 2018, the Firewood and Gap Programs were added to the services offered to Blount County community members in need. In 2019, the items being used in the Closet were folded into the Gap Program to streamline services.
