We are engaging to bring relief and hope
to the most vulnerable in our city
Since the Super Tuesday Tornados hit Nashville, we have been prayerfully engaging where we can in the city. Adding on Covid-19 and even more storms in our area, we are having to respond fast. We have been able to continue our main outreach on Monday Nights. We have had to drastically bring down the amount of volunteers to prep and then distribute the food, clothing and emergency supplies. With caution tape up and more hand sanitizer than we know what to do with, we have been able to continue to serve. Classically we have not had the need for volunteers to sign up ahead of time, but because of safety precautions we have decided to sign up. Click here for more info!
The need has increased in our city in regards to emergency food and supplies. We have created 2 teams who are now going directly into the camps with food, drinks and respond to emergency supplies. On top of that we have people responding directly to folks with in our community who are needing assistance. We have partnered with other organizations and churches to collect non-perishable food. Normal ways of getting food and supplies for a lot of our friends have gone scarce. Shelters, food pantries, and other organizations are having to par down their operations understandably. We have been able to distribute hundreds of masks on the streets as well.
We are continually learning through out the week how to serve our friends in need. We believe in the creativity God has given us to engage as best as we can.
See below for more ways to get involved! Thank you for your support!

DIY MASK INSTRUCTIONS
Here is the guide we are using.
Simple. It suggests 100% cotton!
One adult mask requires two (2) 9”x6” pieces tight-weave cotton. For the ties: use two 7” pieces of 1/4 inch elastic OR four (4) 16” pieces of bias tape OR fabric ties—cut fabric strips 2 " wide by 16” long (64” total per mask). I’m going to guess the side pieces of fabric are 2 3”x6” strips. Therefore, one yard of 44” wide fabric yields 12-15 masks.
