Description
The Nashville Dream Center Gives away over 300,000 pounds of groceries each year and that amount is rapidly growing as the need for food assistance is rapidly growing as well. We take truck loads of groceries into at risk neighborhoods and set up tables lined with all different kids of groceries and the families get to come through and get the food that they need. We also have a food pantry set up at our warehouse where people can come to receive bags of groceries. Our free clothing store gives groceries to each family that comes to shop for clothes and volunteers carry groceries to the homes of the elderly and disabled that are in need of food that can't make it out to pick up groceries at our distribution sites.

Description
Sidewalk Sunday school is a program where we take groups of volunteers into dangerous at risk neighborhoods to reach out to, teach, and mentor children. We do a high energy program for them filled with singing, dancing, games, prizes, and teaching from the Bible to help them overcome the extreme obstacles that they face in every day life. Many of the children that come are wandering around the most dangerous neighborhoods in Nashville completely alone with no adult supervision at all. These wonderful kids need people to be there for them to show them love and encourage them that they can have a better life. They need people to encourage them to stay away from the gangs, to work hard at school and do well and pursue a better future for themselves and to know that God has a plan for them.

Homeless ministry is one of our newer programs but it can make such a difference in the lives of so many. You meet such a variety of people that are homeless from the very young to the elderly, men, women, & children. The reasons that they are homeless are also varied. Some come out of abusive home situations, some have addiction problems, some have mental health issues and some have just fallen on hard times and need a helping hand to get back to a place of self sufficiency. We carry hot meals, toiletries, clothing and whatever else they may need at the time to them. We give volunteers time to talk with and pray with them to find out what they need to move beyond the circumstances they are in at the time. We are working on programs to help them with job training and placement.
