Our Mission

The Branch of Nashville strives to build a community where everyone can thrive by nourishing, educating, and equipping our neighbors.

Because our faith propels us to love God and love our neighbors as we love ourselves, we are dedicated to listening well to our neighbors’ needs and walking with them on their journey to holistic well-being. We do this through comprehensive care, urgent food support, English language learning, and collective action with other community partners. As we do this work, we pray that our community will see the love that God has for them.

Caring for the Whole Person

The Branch of Nashville has a thriving food pantry, but we’re more than that. When our neighbors need additional support to reach greater well-being, we work together to help them realize their worth, find their strength, and achieve their unique goals.

Identify Needs.

When neighbors get support from The Branch, they let us know their needs:

“I need a job.”
“I need housing.”
“I need to learn English.”
“I don’t know where to go for help.”
“My family needs to get through this crisis…I don’t want us to lose hope.”
