Compassionate Hands began in 2012 when a group of concerned Christians set out to ensure that nobody froze to death in Wilson County. By December, a network of eight churches formed and used their locations to provide winter shelter to individuals experiencing homelessness. It has been amazing to watch God’s work unfold, and we are now a network of over 40 churches across our great county. In 2020, we were blessed with the opportunity to purchase our own building which has allowed us to expand our services and provide year-round support to our neighbors in need. Through it all, we rely on volunteers with a compassionate heart and desire to make a difference.
