The best place to adopt and the best place to volunteer. Big fan of this organization and I have been for a very long time.

It is rare to be aligned with an organization that is so diverse in the lives they touch. From those impacted by tornados, bombings, flooding, cold weather and COVID, Community Resource Center truly cares for the community as a whole. Outside of such crisis, CRC supports those experiencing chronic poverty through distribution of essential items. The sheer heart, determination and resourcefulness of this non-profit is astounding and unmatched.

I was a teenager when I came to Monroe Harding in 1989. I was poor, frightened and angry. I found stability, family and love in those walls for the first time in my life. <br><br>I will never forget everyone there. Thank you.<br>

Great place to experience what a concerted effort can easily achieve in this world where so many have needs and others time to share to get all this country’s excess to those in need! Thanks Second Harveat for the opportunity!

I have been a front desk volunteer and office intern for a little over a month now, and I have absolutely loved the experiences I am gaining through my work. I have been able to expand my knowledge and use of American Sign Language as well as work within and for the deaf and hard of hearing community. The staff is friendly, personable, and understanding of any additional work related commitments I have outside of Bridges. This will be my first "job" in a formal business, and I am pleased of the amount of office experience I am gaining. <br>Recently, I have been contemplating the possibility of getting an interpreter certification. I know this is because of the positive interpreters Bridges has on staff and the opportunity I've had to work here. <br>I'm looking forward to closing my summer with Bridges and I thoroughly recommend volunteering for anyone who wishes to engage in ASL as well as the deaf and hard of hearing community.

Making life better for one homeowner at a time several times a year, making the difference how you can, when you can, takes a lot of hard work and dedication. Rebuilding Together Nashville, with Becky's leadership, gets it done and done right.

These people do not have scheduled staff meetings. When they do, cases are not staffed. There is a total disconnect between the programs as the management has no clue what each program is doing or not doing. They hire freshly graduated people and offer NO training whatsoever. They use and use their staff until they are broke down. When the staff submits a resignation and is working out that time, they are escorted out of their office and sent away prematurely. I have 2 colleagues this happened to and there are many more. If this is not enough let me enlighten the feds just in case they get bored and need someting to investigate. Lifecare is a "non-profit" but prays at the few meetings they do have. It is a very sad state of affairs with these large companies as they fall into the black hole of greed at the expense of the broken clients, not to mention the taxpayers. It is all about the family that "runs" things there. Money and greed. If their bible reads like mine, they had better watch out!

The owner, H. Keith Johnson, of Dialysis Clinic, Inc. caused me to lose my kidney transplant and my mower left leg due to giving me the wrong medication and poor care. When I told him there was a problem with leg swelling, he completely ignored my complaints. He sent me home without bothering to examine it, but I had to turn around and go back to the hospital with the lg being twice its size and big, red blisters all over it. He even questioned why I even went to the hospital.

I recently came across Interfaith Dental Clinic while on a job hunt and have started volunteering as a dental hygienist in their Nashville office. I absolutely enjoy spending time in their office and love working with their patients. Many times working in different setting is much like cooking in someone else's kitchen, where it can take time and patience to get yourself organized. The staff members at Interfaith make volunteering easy and enjoyable. Interfaith is made up of a wonderful group of individuals who on a continual basis show great passion, selflessness, and outstanding service to their community. God has truly blessed Middle Tennessee with such an inspirational program. --Megan Stubblefield, RDH

In 2011 P.C.C.T., Inc served faithfully over 4,800 people who by referral came for assistance and guidance. In the past 17 years as a pastoral clergy person I have found the personal and professional integrity of this organization and it administrative and professional staff to be above and beyond what I have experienced in times past when referring those in whom I have had the privilege to serve. The desire to treat all people regardless of their financial status is one that has and continues to serve as a model to many nonprofit organizations throughout the Tennessee area.

The Country Music Foundation has sold Charity Navigator a bill of goods. <br> <br>While supposedly "The mission of the CMF is to identify and preserve the evolving history and traditions of country music and to educate its audiences," nothing could be further from the truth! <br> <br>I am a print and broadcast entertainment journalist of 40 years' experience. I am the sole author of three published country-music books and have been a contributor to several others. No one working in the field today can match my credentials nor is better positioned to tell the CMF's story. <br> <br>During my earliest years in Nashville. writing for Country Song Roundup, I had a very cordial working relationship with the Country Music Foundation, <br> <br>That relationship ended suddenly for no apparent reason. Were the CMF a private entity, its blacklisting could perhaps be justified. As is, as a Section 501(c)(3) non-profit, the Foundation not only refuses to invite me to its media functions and thereby "educate" my audiences by reporting whatever positive news it generates, it has refused to stock my books in its gift shop (despite the fact that the Hall of Fme gift shop prides itself in stocking all manner of country-music titles, including the most obscure\). <br> <br>It has always been my desire that my 40-year collection of priceless recorded interviews with country-music legends, one-of-a-kind photographs of these folks (many of which have never been published), and various limited-edition memorabilia find a home with the Country Music Foundation. <br> <br>Incredibly, the CMF has rejected these donations! <br> <br>Further, it has put obstacles in my place when I ask that its 990s be made available for public inspection and encouraged its attorney to harass me. <br> <br>Where it would have been pragmatic to perhaps ask for an apology, if warranted, accept one if received, forgive, forget and move on, the CMF chose the low road, culminating in my being physically assaulted by one of its officials. Because my physical injury was minimal and because the perpetrator agreed to mediation, I did not press the criminal charges that would have resulted in her arrest after documenting the particulars with a CMF security guard. <br> <br>However, when other Foundation officials joined the assailant in refusing cooperation with the mediator I was forced to press civil charges. <br> <br>I regret that this action was necessary but as, I have chronicled on my Web site, these actions are part of pattern of behavior that should not only concern donors, it should result in a loss of the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum's accreditation by the American Association of Museums and in the CMF's privileged tax status being revoked. <br> <br>Links in support of my statements and the CMF's other appalling, nonprofessional behavior may be found at: <br> <br>http://stacyharris.com/iveykyle.html <br> <br>http://stacyharris.com/adultery.html <br> <br>http://stacyharris.com/ronnie.html <br> <br>http://stacyharris.com/horsnell.html <br> <br>

My daughter suffered brain injury from multiple brain surgeries to try and remove a brain tumor. BIATN has provided much needed information , encouragement and active involvement in her continued education and therapy. I can honestly state she would not have advanced to the cognitive therapy treatment she has had without BIATN's support and guidance.

Tennesseans for Fair Taxation is especially relevant for us today because of the national economy. Recently I was proud to file a state income tax form and send the money to Nashville. We should all want to send our tax monies to Nashville rather than Washington D.C.. I'd like our legislators and new Governor to be creative and innovative in this field. We cannot fund Tennessee's economy based on sales taxes.

I attend several film festivals each year (including huge fests such as Toronto) and the Nashville Film Festival is still my all-time favorite. The enthusiasm of the audience is contagious and the hospitality of the staff is terrific! There seems to be nearly the perfect balance of film-buff-to-film-industry people in attendance, the venue is comfortable, the films are very thoughtfully chosen, and it seems as though there's always a party or musical event going on. In fact, the music connection is one of the things that sets this festival apart from many others. I also love that NaFF has year-round activities for its members and does outreach in the community. All in all, a terrific festival!
