Throughout a tumultuous year, Nashville’s residents continue to show up to support one another — making the phrase “Neighbors Helping Neighbors” ring true for this Middle Tennessee community.
In the wake of an explosion in downtown Nashville early morning on Christmas Day that injured several people, damaged multiple buildings and caused an evacuation of the riverfront area, The Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee (CFMT) has established the Nashville Neighbors Fund, in partnership with WTVF-NewsChannel5, to support those impacted from the Christmas morning catastrophe that shook the area and was felt for miles.
Grants from the Fund will be made to nonprofits providing services for both the immediate and long-term needs arising from the explosion, which city officials termed “intentional.”
“Our work helps free nonprofits up to concentrate on delivering vital services while we ‘connect generosity with need’ and our community sets out to rebuild. We know when disasters strike, there are no quick fixes,” said Ellen Lehman, president of The Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee.
