In 2012, a group of Christians set out to make sure nobody froze to death in Wilson County. God blessed that effort. Over the last five years, 40 churches from 16 traditions have contributed to a ministry that has provided over 10,000 beds and 20,000 meals to hundreds of neighbors. Along the way, God broke down walls and built surprising friendships. The lives of guests and volunteers have been transformed.

God continues to stretch us and expand our vision from sheltering our unhoused neighbors in the winter to making efforts to end homelessness in Wilson County. We are working with guests and community leaders to confront the issues that cause homelessness. In addition, in 2020, God added a second ministry focus to assist families and individuals impacted by the March 3, 2020 tornado and those struggling with challenges brought about by Covid.
