Why this campaign matters

The HOPE NOW campaign exists to rally our city in
urgent generosity that fuels long-term restoration for our unhoused and vulnerable neighbors.

Immediate needs:
- Food support
- Emergency care
- Hygiene needs

Through peer-to-peer fundraising, every person becomes their own messenger of hope, turning compassion into action today and paving the way for lasting transformation tomorrow.

Rally your friends and family to make a difference today!

We know that many in our community want to make a difference and that can look different for everyone. Some are able to give financially, while others may not be in a season where that’s possible.

Either way, this campaign is about equipping everyone who’s passionate about caring for our unhoused neighbors in Nashville to take part.

Whether you give, share, or rally others to join, you’re helping create real change and tangible hope.

Also, there’s PRIZES for top fundraisers for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place and a Grand Prize winner!
