  • Emergency Food Delivery and Support

    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 397 deliveries of food, a USDA equivalent of some 11,000 meals, to households representing 671 individuals, over a third of whom were minors (under 18) or seniors (65+) - including 133 children age 12 and under. Our experience is that, in at least half of our visits , prayer or spiritual encouragement takes place. This work was accomplished through the efforts of volunteers from Nashville churches who made the deliveries, visited families and offered prayer and encouragement. We served households throughout Metropolitan Nashville. The significant value of services contributed by volunteers is additional to program expenses, over and above direct costs described herein. Small grants were occasionally provided for specific needs of clients at opportune times, for purposes including auto fuel, phone service, shoes, bus passes, rent, utilities, childcare, prescriptions. The sum of these grants as shown is included in the program service expenses.
