ABOUT NASHVILLE CARES
At GNUUC we have a long-standing tradition of supporting Nashville CARES through our enthusiastic participation in its annual AIDS Walk fundraising. Their mission is to end the HIV/AIDS epidemic in Middle Tennessee. They work to achieve this through education, advocacy, and support for those at risk for, or living with, HIV.
“All services are based upon need, regardless of ability to pay. Nashville CARES provides indispensable help to those who need it, such as transportation services for medical appointments; food and nutrition assistance to make sure clients have what they need to live healthy lives; financial help for housing, utilities, and other bills; in-home help, such as house cleaning, landscaping and shopping; insurance assistance to help with premiums and copays; educational programs, such as HealthyU, to help people develop healthy life skills and more; case management resources and the HEARTline, which provides confidential information and referral services; and so much more. But one of the most valuable services they are able to offer is free and confidential 20-minute testing.” (NFocus, Aug 12, 2021)
Nashville CARES is committed to following all CDC guidelines and recommendations, and Nashville Metro Health COVID restrictions, so this event may need to be moved from an in-person event to a virtual platform.
