Brrr.... Maybe you were more prepared than I was, but I feel like this winter came out of NOWHERE. It was gorgeous and warm last week and then I blinked... and all of a sudden it's freezing!! I spent all night pulling my old coats out of the attic and scrounging for gloves. I'm sure some of you will be doing the same thing here shortly, and as you do try to set aside any coats that you don't wear anymore. This week we're hosting a coat drive for the Nashville Rescue Mission to keep everyone warm this winter. You can drop off any gently used (or new!) coats in the office through Saturday and we will pass them along to help those in need!
"Service to the community—to the “least of these”—is an often-overlooked part of what makes Nashville such a great city. Often the headlines discuss Nashville as an “it” city or as a “boomtown” for economic growth. These accolades are great, and I certainly think Nashville has earned them.
What doesn’t get so much attention is that Nashville also tops the list as a compassionate and engaged city. Nashvillians look out for one another, and they aren’t afraid to roll up their sleeves to help those who need a helping hand.
Nashville Rescue Mission is a shining example of that Nashville spirit. All year long, the staff and volunteers of the Mission work tirelessly to not only provide shelter and safety to Nashville’s homeless citizens, but to help change their lives for the better."
Living in an apartment community, I'm sure you know that great neighbors make a great community. We are so thankful for each and every one of our fantastic residents, and hope that we can all come together to give back to our larger Nashville community by being a good neighbor to everyone here in need. Warm your heart with kindness and warm the hearts and bodies of those who would otherwise be cold on these new chilly winter nights! This season, SHARE THE WARMTH!!
