Nashville diaper connection

Every few months, folks from St. Mary’s go wrap hundreds (sometimes thousands!) of diapers with the Nashville Diaper Connection. 1 in 3 Davidson County families struggles to afford this necessity, and NDC helps to close that gap by providing them.

The next opportunity is August 13th at 1 pm. Email Kelley if you’d like to join! (kelley@stmarysnashville.com)

open table Nashville

Open Table Nashville is a non-profit, interfaith community that disrupts cycles of poverty, journeys with the marginalized and provides education about issues of homelessness.

You can donate to OTN through Venmo (@OpenTableNash) or Kindful. Their Amazon wishlist is found here and in-kind donations (tents, sleeping bags, and propane canisters are often needed) can be made by emailing donate@opentablenashville.org.

Current Service Opportunity: Foot Clinic

Foot Clinic is held at Trinity Community Commons (in East Nashville) on Tuesday evenings, in tandem with their free community supper. Volunteers can expect to arrive at 5:15pm and leave around 7pm. During that time, volunteers have the opportunity to care for people's feet (clip nails, scrub calluses, apply lotion, offer basic wound care, etc.) and/or sanitize supplies. No prior experience or medical knowledge is required! All new volunteers will be sent a packet with detailed descriptions of the process, and will also be given an orientation directly before the Foot Clinic. You can sign up here.
