Catholic Charities - Diocese of Nashville

Presented by First Horizon Foundation
Our annual fundraising breakfast celebrates hope and the life-changing impact of Catholic Charities’ holistic programs—offering emergency aid, emotional support, and employment training to restore dignity and build lasting stability.

Through partnerships with industry leaders, schools, community groups, and government agencies, we provide employment training in sewing, construction, banking, and culinary arts—empowering individuals to achieve self-reliance and long-term success.
Our Festival of Hope breakfast brings together longtime supporters and new friends to raise awareness of our programs and inspire the financial support needed to meet the growing needs of our community.

The last few years have resulted in extraordinary hardships and uncertainty for many. With our promise of “love, hope, and healing,” our goal is to provide the tools that people need to thrive and be self-reliant; counseling, therapy, and resource navigation, as well as job readiness, mentoring, and skills training. Yes, we provide food, shelter, and emergency assistance every day, but we also offer specialized support for those who need it.
As a leading social services provider, we serve our neighbors regardless of faith tradition, with a staff from many religious backgrounds – not just Catholic. Only five percent of our revenue is provided by the diocese and church donations. Financial support from corporations, foundations, and individuals is critical to meeting the needs of our neighbors. Please support the ongoing work of Catholic Charities by participating in Festival of Hope. Many of our neighbors need your help. By joining us you give them love, hope, and healing.
