From Nashville to Guatemala - our friends Soles4Souls are creating opportunity for people through shoes ⭐

Some of our HERO and Nashville Community Connections team traveled to Guatemala recently with our partners at Soles4Souls. We had the privilege of witnessing their work in action on an international scale - from helping distribute shoes to children to seeing how their 4Opportunity program turns gently used shoes into a business model and mentorship.

Experiencing this work firsthand deepened our appreciation for the mission we are a part of here in Nashville through the 4EveryKid initiative, where we distribute thousands of new shoes to students each year.

We spent this special time working alongside other folks from across the country who also support students in unstable housing, building relationships and sharing best practices. Soles4Souls - Thank you for having us on this truly remarkable experience💙

Several HERO families are moving into housing this Winter - help us support them through Nashville Community Connections! 💙💙💙

Want to help make a family moving into stable housing after a period of homelessness cozy this Winter? We know you do! We used our community-fueled HERO Family Fund to purchase seven (7!) beds this week. Let's band together to fill in with sheets, pillows and a few other basics we don't currently have in stock.
