Founded in 2012, Compassionate Hands started as a network of churches working together to provide winter shelters to individuals experiencing homelessness in Wilson County, TN. Our dream is to end homelessness in Wilson County. In 2020, we were blessed with the opportunity to purchase our own building, allowing us to offer year round services.
From winter shelters and continues with year-round services and assistance in finding stable housing. Through it all, we rely on volunteers with a compassionate heart and desire to make a difference.
