Welcome to Nashville, Nitro and Nomad!!
Welcome to Nashville, Nitro and Nomad!!
Yesterday, our new Trustee Council met for the very first time, ensuring historic knowledge and years of experience continue to be baked into the future of the organization! We are grateful for their continued commitment to the CFMT and our community.
The weeks are flying by, but we would be remiss if we didn't thank our amazing Strobel Awards screening volunteers for all their help last week! Thirty-five wonderful community members volunteered their time to read an astounding 153 nominations this year!
Today at noon, @WPLN reporters @cindy_abrams, @CathJSweeney and @behindthissky give us the latest on their beats for another reporter roundtable. Then, we talk with @CFMT’s Kelly Walberg and artist manager Mike Kopp about the Greater Nashville Music Census!
We invite all survivors in Davidson County affected by the storms of Dec. 9th to join us at Cornerstone Church on Jan. 23rd for a survivor meeting and resource fair. We will have information on how to register for both FEMA assistance and local assistance that may be available
🧵 ~#MLKDay Eve Reading/Listening~ I invite everyone to read and/or listen to my father’s words this evening before posting tomorrow. Here’s a list:
Beginning at 6 p.m. Sunday, December 31, free bus rides will be available on WeGo Public Transit bus routes, and service on 16 routes will be extended until 1:30 a.m. Monday, January 1, 2024...
Long Term Recovery efforts begin 30-90 days after the disaster & typically last for at least 2 years as survivors are assisted with unmet needs. Recovery is a marathon and not a sprint! It will take time to restore our community to where it was before the storms on 12/9/23.
CFMT Update: Immediate Relief Grant Applications Now Available Nonprofits working in the affected counties of Cheatham, Dickson, Montgomery, Robertson, Stewart, and Sumner can now apply. Updates below: cfmt.org/story/update-c… #tornadorelief2023

With the expected snow, we’re delivering extra meals & doing welfare checks on our seniors & those with disabilities . We’re Davidson County’s Meals on Wheels operator, feeding hundreds weekly. The last thing anyone should worry about when snowed in, is if they’ll eat.
Disasters touch every aspect of our lives: homes, transportation, jobs, education, healthcare, and more. The path to recovery is vast, requiring a holistic, collaborative effort from everyone. CFMT understands the challenge – rebuilding is immense and takes time.🧵
Thank you @CFMT for believing in the mission & work of Renewed! We are honored to receive a discretionary grant to help us continue to serve those with eating disorders in Middle Tennessee! #eatingdisorders #mentalhealth #nashville #tennessee
