July 6 - August 31
What is
summer of hope?
A highly-focused summer initiative mobilizing our city to bring hope, resources, and real pathways forward for neighbors experiencing homelessness.
This year, we’re working alongside trusted local partners to:
-Deliver essential resources directly where they’re needed most
-Equip volunteers with meaningful, hands-on ways to serve
-Walk with our neighbors as they pursue next steps toward stability and restoration
Every gift directly fuels the ongoing work of People Loving Nashville—bringing tangible support and consistent presence to the streets of our city.
The goal is to raise $50,000 to continue supporting the people who most need it. Those living on the streets and those transitioning from homelessness into housing and restoration.
