Greenhouse Ministries

Website: greenhousemin.org

Preds Drive: Saturday, Jan. 20 - Toiletries

Toiletries are a high expense for individuals living at or below the poverty line. Access to items such as soap, toothpaste or deodorant are things we tend to take for granted. But, for our clients the lack of access to hygiene care means low self worth when going out in public for things such as job interviews. We are asking for items such as: conditioner, deodorant, feminine hygiene products, shampoo, soap, toothbrushes, toothpaste, etc. to help combat this issue.

Mission Statement: Greenhouse Ministries, through local volunteers, provides relational services that are designed to inspire, give hope and change lives.

Counties/State Served: We serve the state of Tennessee and our main counties served are: Rutherford, Cannon, Bedford, Coffee and Wilson.

About Greenhouse Ministries: Greenhouse Ministries is a Christ-based nonprofit located just outside of downtown Murfreesboro. We have a two-fold purpose of serving the underserved in our community and second, to offer a place for volunteers to share their gifts and talents.

Greenhouse Ministries strives to help, educate and connect every client who walks through our doors. We help by providing basic needs items such as: food, clothes, toiletries, legal clinic, nursing clinic, occupational therapy, etc. We educate by offering a variety of classes free to the public ranging from budgeting to GED tutoring, computer skills to sewing. Finally, we connect our clients with job opportunities in the area and other local resources with the end goal of taking them from a place of receiving to giving.

We also offer a variety of volunteer opportunites, both short term and long term. These include: sorting food in our food pantry, office work, bicycle repair, clothes sorting, counseling, teaching classes and more.

Did you Know? Did you know in the year 2016 Greenhouse Ministries served:

  • 6200 unduplicated individuals by providing food, clothes, free adult education classes, etc.
  • 860 individuals with toiletries
  • 3979 families with emergency food boxes

  • 1485 individuals received clothes and shoes
  • 853 individuals attended our free legal clinic hosted by Rutherford/Cannon County Bar Association
  • We also had 22,747 volunteer hours in 2016.

How will funds from your drive night be used? Our funds will be used to supplement the needs for our client services, so we can fill in the gaps where needed.

Prevent Child Abuse Tennessee

Website: PCAT.org

Preds Drive: Saturday, March 31 - Diapers

Why diapers? Without diapers, babies cannot go to childcare or participate in early childhood education. Without childcare, parents cannot go to work or school. And uncomfortable babies cry - a lot. When babies cry, parents' stress levels go up, creating an environment with more tension and less nurturing. On average, babies need 8 diapers per day. That's an average of 240 diapers per month per child. Families that live at or below the poverty level too often find themselves forced to decide between diapers and food. Providing diapers and wipes to families in need is one simple way to prevent abuse and neglect in the home.

Mission Statement: To prevent the abuse and neglect of children in Tennessee.

Counties/States served: Our in-home parent support programs are available in 30 counties including Davidson, Williamson, Rutherford, Wilson, Sumner, Cheatham, Robertson, Dickson, and Montgomery, as well as several counties in East and Southeast Tennessee. Our Parent Leadership Initiative, 24-Hour Domestic Violence Helpline, 24/7 Parent Helpline, and Shaken Baby Syndrome Prevention Program are available in all 95 counties in Tennessee.

About Prevent Child Abuse TN: Every child deserves a great childhood. Our goal at Prevent Child Abuse Tennessee is to equip parents with the tools and skills necessary to make a happy, healthy, carefree childhood possible for every child in Tennessee.

Through in-home support and education, we help parents build nurturing relationships with their children, help families connect with community resources , and ensure that children are meeting developmental milestones, setting them on a path for a bright and prosperous future. We equip parents in communities across the state to be advocates for children and families in their communities through our Parent Leadership Initiative, and we help survivors of domestic violence during times of crisis as well as parents during times of heightened stress through our 24/7 helpline.

All the work we do is to support parents and build strong communities where children can grow up feeling loved and supported. Parenting is a challenging journey, and we are here to help navigate the twists and turns, helping parents raise resilient children who will be successful, contributing members of the community one day.

Did you know?

  • Our programs are 100% voluntary. The parents we work with choose to enroll, because they want to give their children a great start.
  • We can start working with parents as early as prenatally, and have programs that can serve families until children are 12 years old.
  • We meet parents right where they are, visiting them in their home or wherever they choose, eliminating barriers and making sure access to our services is as easy as possible.
  • We help prepare young children to start school, making sure they are physically, socially, and emotionally ready.
  • 530 families across Tennessee were supported through weekly home visits this year
  • 7,507 callers were assisted in their moment of need through our 24-hour statewide helpline
  • 1,339 adults were trained this year to protect children from sexual abuse

How will funds from your drive night be used? We want to make sure children are as safe and protected as possible. This includes car safety, sleep safety, and safety in the home. Funds raised would help us provide car seats, Pack and Plays for safe sleep, and other safety items to families who cannot afford their own.

Women Survivors Alliance

Link to website: WomenSurvivorsAlliance.org

What drive item would you like to collect? TBD

Mission statement: The Women Survivors Alliance (WSA) has created a network where women affected by cancer can find their voice, improve their quality of life and embrace their life after the diagnosis.

Counties/States served: The Women Survivors Alliance serves all the counties throughout the state of Tennessee through their various Ribbons of Support with live educational events and online efforts.

About: The Women Survivors Alliance is an all-volunteer organization created by survivors, for survivors. The WSA was created to change the conversation about life-changing illnesses and experiences. The WSA strives to give voice to the emotions and feelings of each journey and each survivor in hopes to expand and open connections with others who share the same illness or a similar journey.

Did you know? If cancer was cured tomorrow, more than 650,000 women would be spared a diagnosis this year alone. But the eight million women survivors in America would continue to face issues they never expected once their treatment ended. Cancer draws a line in the sand of life and is a big game-changer. Its impact doesn't end just because treatment does.

How funds will be utilized: As an all-volunteer organization, 100 percent of the funds will go toward the creation of new educational, supportive programs for women cancer patients here in Tennessee.
