Empower families, celebrate their successes, and become a "change agent" for children at any level of giving. Give monthly through a credit card or ACH debit... & have a HUGE impact on local families (but not your wallet).

Why we need your help:

68% of our parents are raising families on less than $15,000 annually
76% of our families have 4+ ACEs; 54% have 6+ ACEs
ACEs cost the Tennessee Economy over $5.2 billion in 2017
we serve dozens of nutrious meals to our families each week, sometimes it's their healthiest that day
hundreds of Calm Down Bottles in groups, fairs, and festivals help children learn how to manage emotions
we've helped positivley changed the lives of tens of thousands of children and their families since first opening our doors in 1985

Any gifts received prior to June 30th will be doubled thanks to ECON's generous 1:1 Match up to $50,000! Together we're changing lives, changing families, and changing futures!

Self-Care Kits for Moms and Dads!

When a parent graduates from our Nurturing Home program, they’ve not only improved empathy, made deeper connections with their children, and learned new ways of coping with family stress… they’ve also done a lot of good work toward breaking multi-generational cycles of childhood trauma. These parents are ROCK STARS and we LOVE to be able to give them a little treat for continued self-care. Now for the need part…we’re running very low on supplies for our kits!

What we need:

anything that would make a mom or dad’s day a little nicer… but nothing perishable
For MOM: herbal tea, spa treats like masks, nail polish, or lotion, scented candles...
For DAD: beard oil/shaving kit, gift card to Best Buy or Game Stop, scented soap/lotion...
We’ll accept these items at our Nashville location at 139 Thompson Lane Monday-Thursday 9am-5pm
