Knoxville Black Maternal Health Week

April 11-17, 2026 

Knoxville’s Black Maternal Health highlights the expertise of local researchers, birth workers, holistic practitioners, business owners, advocates, activists, and professionals dedicated to maternal health and wellness in Knoxville and the Tri-Cities.

Now in its fourth year, the conference has grown into a week-long series of events held at various locations throughout the community. It continues to raise awareness and offer education through interactive sessions and artistic expressions, focusing on the critical issues surrounding maternal/paternal health and addressing the disparities faced by people of color and their families.

Support Families with Essential Birth & Postpartum Care

Access to basic birth and postpartum supplies should never be a barrier to safe, supported care. Through our Birth & Postpartum Supplies Fund, we provide essential items to Black mothers and families in our community—helping ensure dignity, comfort, and care during one of life’s most important transitions. Your support helps us place critical supplies directly into the hands of families who need them most.

What the Fund Supports:

                       1. Postpartum Recovery Kits (Pads, Peri Bottles, Healing Essentials)

2. Newborn Care Items (Diapers, Wipes, Feeding Support)

3. Emergency Assistance for Urgent Maternal Care Needs
