Community Care Fellowship spotlight for March 5
This week’s Outreach spotlight is on Community Care Fellowship's (CCF) transformational services.
When homeless persons and families come to Belmont UMC in need of assistance greater than we can provide, we refer them to CCF. CCF is our partner and offers stabilizing services at their resource hubs in East Nashville, West Nashville, and Madison. Beyond that, as people gain stability, CCF offers transformational services to help them get on their feet, housed, employed, educated, and their children cared for. Transformational services include Dare to Dream Child Development Center located at the East Nashville campus and another child development center in connection with the Resource Hub in Madison.
To learn more about transformational services, go to ccfnashville.com.

Community Care Fellowship spotlight for February 26
This week’s Outreach spotlight is on Community Care Fellowship's (CCF) Resource Hubs for homeless persons and families, located in 3 parts of Nashville.
CCF’s Resource Hubs provide counseling, mail services, showers (8,000-6,000 per year) and laundry facilities (6,500-4,500, loads per year); 35,000 hygiene items annually, and 20,000-30,000 meals per year. Resource Hubs located in East Nashville, West Nashville (at Bellevue UMC), and Madison (at City Road UMC) are the foundation to our hyper-local systematic approach to ending homelessness in the Nashville community and beyond. Resource Hubs are where our principal stabilizing services including meals, showers, laundry, hygiene, mail, pastoral counseling, mental health services, and case management can be provided throughout the city to individuals experiencing homelessness.
These Resource Hubs are also safe spaces for our neighbor’s experiencing homelessness and those living below the poverty line. They are a place to live out our mission - Serving Christ by offering hope, love, and resources to our neighbors experiencing housing insecurity.
Volunteers are needed. Some classes and several members volunteered for many years at CCF’s East Nashville Campus. Today, more volunteers are needed including replacements for some who are no longer able.
Volunteer opportunities include:
Front Desk Registration and Hygiene. Monday-Friday, 9:00am-12:00pm and 12:00-2:30pm.
Breakfast helpers, Monday-Friday, 8:45-9:45am.
