Sponsored by Metro Homelessness Commission and Nashville Chamber Public Benefit Foundation, Project Homeless Connect (PHC) is a one-day, one-stop event to provide people experiencing homelessness with access to a broad range of services, including medical and foot care, dental screenings, legal services, employment assistance, pet care, food, shoes and haircuts. The event also helps participants contact lost families and obtain identification and
applications for housing opportunities.
Last year, a collaboration of more than 50 service providers and 300 volunteers provided 5,500 services to at least 1,075 homeless individuals and families. PHC makes a powerful impact on homeless people’s lives by providing a wide variety of assistance in one location, and by the outpouring of respect and hospitality from service providers and volunteers.
This year we plan to serve more homeless people, provide additional services and use more than 500 volunteers at the Nashville Municipal Auditorium. Community volunteers will be needed in shifts from 7:30am-12pm, 11am-3:30pm and 2:30pm-6pm.
Is your business or organization looking for an opportunity to volunteer in the community? Group and individual opportunities are available. Half- and full-day volunteers are needed. For sponsorship opportunities and other ways to help, please contact
