Meet Ashaay, one of our incredible volunteers!

Ashaay first connected with Dream Streets through our food ministry, but quickly found ways to use his passion for financial literacy to serve others. As a student at Montgomery Bell Academy, he led engaging lessons for both our Job Readiness and Aftercare programs, helping adults and kids build practical money management skills through games, activities, and real-world advice.

His heart for serving others and willingness to step up at a young age made a lasting impact. Thank you, Ashaay, for investing in our community!

This past Saturday, we were honored to participate in the EastPoint Neighborhood Kickoff Party and groundbreaking celebration hosted by , a valued sponsor of our Transitional Housing Facility.

As the largest affordable housing development in Tennessee, EastPoint is a major investment in creating a community where families and individuals of all ages can thrive for generations to come.

At Dream Streets, we are committed to helping address Nashville’s housing challenges through our Housing programs, making this project especially meaningful to us. We were grateful for the opportunity to share our work, connect with neighbors and partners, and celebrate this exciting project.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by our table, and congratulations to all those who helped make this incredible project possible!

Did you know that Dream Streets hosts 2 foodsites on Sunday that are not listed? One of them is specifically for single moms and, our longtime volunteer Jenniver Strange has faithfully driven the truck to Trader joes and picked up the food for distribution for almost a decade!

We have had the joy of watching her raise a daughter into a young woman. Jen finished her masters while working 2-3 jobs and organized our moms group for years. One of our favorite memories of Jen is when she burned the queso it was years before we let her live it down!

We love Jen and what she stands for as a mom, a volunteer, a social worker and in my opinion a woman of influence!
