This Month’s Highlight

Poverty Alleviation

Join us as we highlight Poverty Alleviation nonprofits in our communities. All around us, there are friends and neighbors experiencing poverty and struggling to make ends meet. We want to bring awareness to organizations working hard to make a difference in the lives of those experiencing poverty and help them provide resources for everyone seeking their assistance.

All month long, each campus is partnering with a different local nonprofit.

Murfreesboro

The Journey Home is a Christian ministry whose primary focus is to serve the homeless and disadvantaged of Rutherford County – providing practical resources and relationships that encourage faith, housing and economic stability, wholeness, and reintegration into community life. During this highlight, we want to help them find 15 consistent volunteers and raise money to furnish 10 in-house residences.

Cannon County

The Homeless of McMinnville Effort, H.O.M.E., has a mission to honor the dignity and improve the lives of those who are unsheltered or displaced by providing meals, basic hygiene services, spiritual support, shelter, and access to resources in order for them to work towards self-sustaining futures. During this highlight, we want to help them get the supplies they need to put vinyl siding and paint on their children’s and women’s shelters.

Shelbyville

Shelbyville Community Soup Kitchen is focused on reaching out to the homeless community in Shelbyville by providing meals and other essential care items to those who need them. For this highlight, our goal is to donate funds to help them maintain their operations and expand their work to include new housing initiatives.

Tullahoma

The Storehouse Food Pantry is dedicated to tackling hunger issues in Coffee County and surrounding areas. Our goal for this highlight is to help them find 10 new consistent volunteers and raise enough money to provide 100 food boxes at $50 each.
