Thank you to everyone who has donated supplies for tornado relief! As needs arise for long-term recovery and rebuilding, we will look for opportunities we can volunteer as a community of faith. If you would like to volunteer as an individual, here are a few organizations looking for help:

Hands On Nashville  (daily large-scale volunteer needs; hub for all volunteer needs)

Gideon's Army  (daily clean up and delivery in North Nashville)

Community Resource Center  (collecting supplies)

Thanks to all the organizations and volunteers that are working hard to quickly respond. We continue in prayer for all affected by the storm.
