Even though many of the folks I work with won't sleep at the Mission for one reason or another, a lot go to eat there during the holidays because they put on such a great feast for everyone.
If you can help, please do so; the mission needs it this year more than usual and the folks on the street really need it this year....
Rescue Mission needs more food donations
The Nashville Rescue Mission reports it is seeing lower-than-average contributions for its annual Thanksgiving banquet for the city's homeless this year.
With less than two weeks left before the holiday, the Nashville Rescue Mission is in need of donations of fresh and frozen turkeys, canned vegetables, fresh produce, cranberry sauce, paper plates, plastic cutlery, aluminum foil and foil turkey pans, a news release said.
Food gifts are accepted at the Mission's Donation Center, 616 Seventh Ave. S., from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday to Saturday. Monetary donations can be made online at www.nashvillerescuemission.org.
