Nashville Rescue Mission seeks to help the homeless of Middle Tennessee by offering food, clothing and shelter and recovery programs to those in need.

The mission’s life-recovery program uses a Christ-centered approach to help men and women resolve personal problems and chemical addictions. During their time in the program, participants receive Christian counseling, participate in group discussions, learn how to heal from past wounds and develop new and healthy ways of coping. They also get the chance to study the Bible and participate in the education program to improve their academic and employment skills or obtain a GED.

The mission’s education program offers individualized encouragement through education and computer training classes. While some individuals prepare to take their GED exam, others are taught basis arithmetic and literacy. Additional classes are taught on parenting, grief and loss. All are given an opportunity to pursue academic and professional skills for the workplace, including job preparedness, resume writing and interviewing skills. Participants also learn about financial planning and developing a family budget. To learn more about the Mission, click here.
