OUR PROGRAMS
Hygiene poverty is an everyday disaster.
Your support provides
everyday dignity.
You know us from our work in disaster response and have generously stood by us as we mobilize to aid those affected by tornados, floods, and severe storms. We’re committed to helping our neighbors during these critical times, but there is an everyday disaster in Middle Tennessee: hygiene insecurity.
We are open on Saturday 9 am - 2 pm for donation drop-off and closed on Sunday!
As a reminder, please do not bring items to our warehouse or any of the official drive locations that are not on the approved CRC list (even if you think someone could use it).
In the first weeks of disaster recovery, we are working with multiple organizations to assess the immediate needs. Additional supply needs, such as clothing, toys, bedding, and household items, can be evaluated by partners on a case-by-case, catered basis.
New items (can be unopened and unused) only. The manpower it takes to sort through used donations takes away from those hours being used for disaster cleanup. There is only a small percentage we can often use, and unfortunately, sometimes we receive dirty, ruined items.
We appreciate your understanding and cooperation. โค๏ธ
We will update you soon with next weekโs hours as well as holiday hours.
Swipe left for the list of the needed items and an informative graphic from @nashvillevoad about what can happen after a disaster when things come in that are not required and not usable.
Yesterday, the CRC team spent time distributing supplies directly to families in Madison near Amqui Elementary School. Thanks to our partners at the Office of Emergency Management, @wckitchen, and @honashville for helping out.
Although we heavily rely on our amazing partners to get needed items into the hands of individuals, we must be present and active during disaster relief when we can. Seeing the devastation and hearing the stories from families impacted reminds us how important it is to show up for our neighbors.
As we approach the end of 2023, our focus at CRC revolves around dignity for the forgotten in our community.
Thanks to your generosity and volunteered time, we've ensured that those impacted are not overlooked.
Your support has been overwhelming, and we are truly grateful.
Continue to check our social media channels for up-to-date information on urgent needs, survivor resources, and donation drop-off locations. Links in bio!
Important Update! We've added the supply needs graphic again and made a couple of updates to the drop-off locations lists.
Please visit our hub, www.crcmidtn.org/disaster-relief, for more details about each drop-off location (addresses, days, and hours).
A reminder: Please donate NEW, unopened, unused items from the list provided ONLY. We do not have the manpower to sort through used donations. Used and non-requested donations slow down our recovery time and ability to rebuild dignity.
THANK YOU for reminding us why we are #nashvillestrong in times of disaster.
Amid disaster, we mobilize to rebuild dignity.
Thousands of homes and businesses across Davidson, Montgomery, Sumner, and Robertson counties were destroyed when the tornados ravaged their communities on December 9th.
Hygiene poverty is vital to our mission on a day-to-day basis. We currently need basic hygiene products to continue meeting needs in Middle TN, especially for those who have lost everything.
When you make a monetary donation to the CRC, we can often purchase essential supplies at a discounted price thanks to distributor partnerships. For example, $1 can equal $18 of product!
You can donate funds online today at www.crcmidtn.org or venmo @crcnashville.
The CRC will not forget those affected by the tornado tragedy.

๐ Dignity matters because self-worth is priceless.
That's why we exclusively accept new hygiene product donations, ensuring our neighbors facing hygiene poverty receive quality items.
Hygiene orders are fulfilled based on requests from our partners, who work directly with individuals and families in need. Those benefiting from CRC hygiene pantries have the autonomy to choose the items that best meet their needs.
We are honored to receive bulk donations from high-quality, trusted brands like @colgate and @ubykotex.
Your support makes a significant difference in empowering communities. ๐๐
