One of the ways Greater Nashville UU provides sanctuary to our community is through the Room at the Inn Winter Shelter Program. Room In The Inn’s Winter Shelter program runs from November through March each year, in coordination with almost 200 congregations throughout Middle Tennessee. The program provides safe shelter, warm meals, and fellowship for our neighbors struggling with homelessness during the coldest months of the year. We need volunteers: Click to see different opportunities. Contact Jesse Spencer-Smith to volunteer.
