At Purpose Gathering 2026, we’ll gather for an extraordinary evening of purpose and celebration inside one of Nashville’s most exclusive mansions.

Guests will enjoy an elegant dinner, live performances from Ben Rector and Matt Wertz, and a special appearance from actor Denzel Washington — all in honor of the legacy being built through People Loving Nashville.

Together, we’ll celebrate the stories of lives restored, relationships rebuilt, and hope reignited across our city — and look ahead to what’s next as we continue building something that outlives us.

This isn’t just an event. It’s an invitation to invest in what lasts — to build a legacy of love, hope, and transformation in Nashville.

Come be part of the story. Leave a legacy that changes lives.

The tradition continues. Step aboard the General Jackson Showboat for an unforgettable night on the Cumberland — where good food, smooth whiskey, and great music come together for a purpose.

Enjoy live performances from Dave Barnes and Jon McLaughlin, a mouthwatering steak dinner, and your favorite cigars and whiskey as we celebrate community and raise support for the work of People Loving Nashville.

Guests will also have the chance to bid on exclusive items during our live auction — including a rare micro-batch whiskey valued at nearly $1,000.

Join us for a celebration of generosity, good taste, and lasting impact.

Next summer, the heart of Nashville will come alive for seven weeks of intentional relief and restoration for our neighbors in need. Summer of Hope 2026 is more than an outreach, it’s a season of belonging.

Each week offers practical resources like mental health care, job and paperwork support, and spaces for neighbors to connect through music, art, and community.

Together, we’ll share meals, stories, and hope — creating moments that remind every person they matter and that change is possible.

Because when love shows up consistently, transformation follows.

This year’s Annual Homelessness Summit will be a day to remember. Join city leaders, nonprofits, faith communities, and neighbors from every corner of our city as we come together to spark real solutions and lasting change.

Experience inspiring conversations, impact-driven workshops, and powerful live performances by Steven Curtis Chapman and Third Day — all set against the backdrop of a shared mission: to end homelessness in Nashville, one life at a time.

This is a movement. A gathering of dreamers, doers, and believers committed to seeing our city transformed through love, presence, and collaboration.

Come be part of the change. Together, we’re building what lasts.
