Today on #InternationalWomensDay we celebrate women's achievements and call attention to the work we still have to do to create a world free of bias, stereotypes, and discrimination. Together, we can build a world of gender parity where differences are celebrated and people of all genders are empowered and treated with respect.

We are so grateful to Community Health Systems for their generosity and support.
Safe Haven Family Shelter has supported Middle Tennesseans experiencing homelessness for more than four decades, and strives to create an equitable future where family homelessness is rare, brief, and non-recurring. Last year, Safe Haven made 100 housing placements and served 259 families in our community. Right now, there are more than 500 families across the Greater Nashville Area waiting for housing support. Safe Haven's goal is to house 50 of those families in the first half of 2025. YOU can help make an impact at SafeHaven.org #CommunityImpact | #EndFamilyHomelessness
