One of the ways Greater Nashville UU provides sanctuary to our community is through the Room at the Inn Winter Shelter Program. Room In The Inn’s Winter Shelter program runs from November through March each year, in coordination with almost 200 congregations throughout Middle Tennessee. The program provides safe shelter, warm meals, and fellowship for our neighbors struggling with homelessness during the coldest months of the year. We need volunteers: Click to see different opportunities. Contact Jesse Spencer-Smith to volunteer.

This Sunday, December 13, visit the SIFE Gift table to help support Nashville’s immigrant and refugee students. One immediate and pressing material need for these students is access to basic hygiene products, which are are quickly exhausted through use by an entire family or household. At the SIFE Gift table you can purchase a share in bulk ingredients so that the students in the SIFE Math Classroom can produce their own deodorants, toothpastes, and other personal hygiene products while learning about fractions, decimals, ratios, and pre-algebra concepts in a meaningful hands-on way. Thank you for making a difference. Click to read more…
