Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Food, Meals on Wheels
Mission: To deliver food to households of people in need, creating an opportunity for engagement, informal conversation and encouragement, and additional avenues of service between church-sponsored volunteers and the families we serve
Programs: Each year, we deliver packages of food supplies to local households. Deliveries are made in response to requests for help at a time of specific need, rather than to a roster of repetitive addresses or to an entire community at once. Last year, we made 252 deliveries of food to households representing 662 individuals, some half of whom were minors (under 18) or seniors (65+) - including 188 children age 12 and under. In over half of the visits, prayer or spiritual encouragement took place. This was accomplished through the efforts of volunteers from nashville churches who made the deliveries, visited families and offered prayer and encouragement. Many more friends helped with collecting and sorting food into boxes for delivery. We served households throughout metropolitan nashville. The contribution of services by volunteers has a value in the range of $11,000, in addition to cash funds spent on program expenses, and is included in expenses designated here. Grants are comprised of cash needs for cients at opportune times - including auto fuel, phone service, shoes, bus passes, rent.
