Christmas Miracle Offering


This year’s Christmas Miracle Offering will support Community Care Fellowship (CCF), which works to meet the physical, emotional and spiritual needs of the unhoused in Nashville. Since its founding 40 years ago, it has grown to serve the needs of more than 2000 people in three sites near homeless encampments in Nashville: one in Madison, one in east Nashville near the James Cayce Homes, and one in West Nashville. CCF also runs the Dare to Dream Child Development Center. Click here to give online. Read more
