The VolShop is the Official Campus Store of the University of Tennessee. All proceeds benefit The University of Tennessee through student scholarships, community outreach and campus building projects. We're Vols helping Vols, not some big corporation profiting from your purchases. We are proud to be customer-driven, striving to offer the best customer service anywhere. Additionally, our support of students is unmatched by other retail establishments. Here are a few ways we contribute:

• Each Friday VolShop employees may earn the ability to wear jeans to work by contributing a food item to Smokey's Pantry, our campus food bank. The food items are picked up by Smokey’s Pantry, and offered to students needing food.
• VolShop employees contribute to the Wade Meadows Scholarship Fund. VolShop student-employees may apply and be awarded this scholarship annually.
• Thousands of dollars each year are given back to the University of Tennessee for student scholarships, community outreach and campus building projects.
• We organize multiple events throughout the year to benefit our students! Our annual After-Hours Party is always a favorite, where we close the store, bring in various games, and let students come in and play earning tickets to win great Vol gear and gifts. Snacks, music, and much fun are all provided!

No. Due to our strict compliance with credit card security guidelines, no VolShop employee may ever come into contact with your card information.
