A Once In A Lifetime Opportunity
Inspiritus is building an Innovative Live-Thrive-Give Campus in North Nashville
We were fortunate to secure our property on the corner of Rosa L. Parks Boulevard and Garfield Street (site of the former St. Paul’s Lutheran Church, where our current base of operations is located) by the Southeastern Synod of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. This was made possible from the shared vision and dedication of this site to the mission of empowering our neighbors in need. We owe it to our community to make sure that this opportunity doesn’t go to waste.
“The Memorial Foundation is grateful to partner with Inspiritus Middle Tennessee in their work to reduce the physical and psychological impacts of poverty on marginalized communities. With programs that seek to both meet immediate needs and build healthy communities for the future, their work is more vital than ever.”
-Scott Perry, President, The Memorial Foundation
Empowering Neighbors to Thrive
Middle Tennessee Empowerment Programs
Inspiritus Middle Tennessee Empowerment programs provide life giving services to low-income neighbors across Middle Tennessee. Current programs include: Inspiritus Thrive Studios therapeutic art program, Healthy Gardens, Building Healthy Families educational support group, and Inspiritus Food Pantry. With your support, we can expand our programming and ensure individuals and families have access to vital resources and affordable housing in North Nashville.
“St. Paul’s Lutheran was already deeply involved in the community when I arrived in Salemtown 15 years ago. I'm excited to see Inspiritus reimagining their campus in a way that will deepen that community commitment, including critically needed affordable housing.”
-Freddie O’Connell,
Metro Council, District 19
