What’s the problem?

Homelessness is on the rise and people are truly suffering.

In a city filled with need, many people want to help, but don’t know how. They see the hunger, homelessness, and loneliness around them, yet feel unsure of what actually makes a difference. That uncertainty can lead to frustration and a sense of helplessness.

At People Loving Nashville, we believe no one should go without food, shelter, or meaningful connection—and no one who wants to help should feel powerless to do so. Everyone deserves to be seen, supported, and given a chance to thrive.

We host Nashville’s largest street outreach event as well as create businesses to provide opportunities to support the homeless of Nashville.

Emergency Relief 
Food, Drink, Clothing and Emergency Supplies. (Matthew 25:35)

Healthy Community
A robust group of volunteers and staff in kinship with the homeless. (Romans 12:15)

Connection to Resources
Trained case workers and community partners connecting the suffering to health care, recovery and housing. (Mark 12:31)

Paths to Restoration 
Healing and development via small businesses once an individual is in housing through work and programs. (Isaiah 61)
