Nashville Rescue Mission

A few of us from the Corizon corporate office went to the Nashville Rescue Mission today to volunteer for a few hours. The food was all prepared when we arrived, and we dished up and served lunch to about 350 men at the mission, and then they gave us a tour of the facility. Much of the food is donated by local grocery stores, restaurants, bakeries, and industrial suppliers -- and it looked and smelled delicious! (I was the dessert lady :o)

This HUGE, privately funded facility is a faith-based organization that helps take care of Nashville's homeless population, builds their hope & faith through regular Bible study and devotionals, houses hundreds of men (women's shelter is up the road), as well as helps them with detox programs, get their GED, learn job skills, prepare resumes, find health care, and a variety of other services to help the homeless transition back into the community. We were very impressed with the programs they offer! The place seems to run like a well-oiled machine!

We had a great time, felt very appreciated, and all came home counting our many blessings. We hope to go back and do this again around Thanksgiving -- and take our kids!
