Matthew 25 Fall 2020 Newsletter
As we all know, 2020 has been a year of uncertainty. But through the support of our community we are continuing to move forward every day with our mission of providing Housing, Help and Hope to men in need! We are happy to share some updates with you with our Fall Newsletter:
Matthew 25 Raises $2,618 through The Big Payback!
Every May, the Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee hosts The Big Payback, a 24 hour online giving event supporting hundreds of local organizations. This year, our incredible community came together and raised more than $4.3 million with 31,694 individual gifts.
Matthew 25 raised $2,618 through 28 individual gifts! These dollars will go directly towards helping veterans and homeless men in Middle Tennessee chart a path out of homelessness, find permanent housing, and become fulfilled and productive members of society once again. We could not accomplish our mission without your support. Thank you to all who helped lift up our community! We are so grateful.
VA Grant Awarded to Matthew 25
Awesome news! The VA is awarding $30 million to organizations to provide supportive services to veterans who were previously homeless or at risk of losing their housing. With this grant, we will be providing case management services to veterans for 6 months after they leave our program and begin adjusting to permanent housing.
We are honored to receive this grant and know it will make an impact on the men of Matthew 25 and ultimately our Nashville community.
