Be the Hope

Friday, May 1, 2026

Be the reason hope shows up!

Do you look around and see things in our world, in our city, in our community, in how people treat one another that saddens you and you’d like to see changed?

What if, for one day, no one in our community felt invisible?

What if, for one day, everyone chose to BE the hope someone else needs?

What if hope showed up—in coffee shops, neighborhoods, schools, and homes—because you made it possible?

You can be the change.
You can be the light.
You can be the HOPE that you want to see in this world.

BE THE HOPE is a citywide movement where hope shows up everywhere—online and in real life—for 24 hours. 

As our spring fundraiser event, we need to raise $100,000 to continue spreading hope to families—hope that looks like food on the table, help finding work, support in crisis, and through a place where people are known and cared for.

We’ll be on social media throughout the day raising funds essential for serving our community and challenging people to do small acts of kindness as they go about their day. Video yourself sowing Seeds of Hope, post with #BeTheHopeDay tagging The Branch of Nashville, and challenge a friend to spread some Seeds of Hope.
