Nashville Rescue Mission's Women Center is at capacity, and you can help!

With the heat continuing to beat down in Tennessee, Nashville Rescue Mission's new Linda & Mike Curb Women's Center is already at capacity.

They tell us they have seen a 47% increase in the number of moms seeking shelter since a year ago, and a 76% increase in the number of children.

They promise to never turn anyone away, and because of this are asking the community for help.

If you want to make a donation, you can give once at the link online, or offer a monthly donation.

She's in her 80's and legally blind. Franklin woman continues to crochet for those in need

“Here’s a great story that proves everyone has something to give, regardless of age OR personal challenges. Our Austin Pollack introduces us to Ms Sylvia Mooney. At age 80, she’s not sitting still. Instead, she using her skills to craft compassion for others… one stitch at a time. Her crochet creations go to non-profits to help our homeless neighbors. You’ll be surprised to learn she does it all, while facing a serious health issue. Bravo Sylvia!”
