  • Direct payments to billing agencies or companies (we do not give funds directly to individuals)

  • Food assistance through our on-site food pantry

What We’re Unable to Assist With:

While we’d love to help in every situation, there are some limitations to our ministry:

  • We cannot assist individuals outside the Hermitage, Old Hickory, or Donelson areas

  • We do not distribute cash directly to individuals

  • We cannot assist with housing or rent needs. Instead, we recommend contacting:
  1. Metro Action Commission
  2. United Way’s 211 helpline for local housing resources
