WHO?
Drawing upon local faith communities, congregations, agencies, and businesses, Luke 14:12 is a nonprofit organization providing meals to homeless and hungry of Nashville. The mission of Luke 14:12 is to address the nutritional needs of persons in Nashville who are inadequately fed. We invite all who are hungry to be guests at our table. ..

WHAT?
Luke 14:12 provides more than 10,000 meals a year. Begun when Edgehill United Methodist Church member Laura McCray shared a pot of soup, it was the first program for feeding the homeless in Nashville. Now, after over 20 years, we continue to provide tasty meals that meet the basic requirements of good nutrition. ..

Luke 14:12 provides transportation for the homeless from the Campus for Human Development in downtown Nashville to our table...

WHY?
Nashville's homeless population is over 1500 men, women, and children. Some of our guests are minimally employed, but still homeless, unable to afford sustainable housing.

WHEN?
Meals are served at noon on Tuesdays and Fridays, year-round (seating by 11:30).
 
WHERE?
Meals are served at Belmont Church Fellowship Hall, 1003 16th Avenue South.  Our guests walk in from the neighborhood and walk (or ride our bus) from downtown and other parts of Nashville.

HOW?
Luke 14:12 receives financial support from faith communities, individuals, agencies, businesses, and government. Our partnership with community resources, such as Second Harvest Food Bank and Nashville's Table (local food reclamation program), allows us to provide nutritious meals free to our guests and at a low cost to Luke 14:12. With employees from the homeless population and volunteers from the community either individually or in groups, we are able to provide service to the least of us who need assistance in life.
