At Soles4Souls, we turn unwanted shoes and clothing into opportunity, by keeping them from going to waste and putting them to good use – providing relief, creating jobs and empowering people to break the cycle of poverty.
The Southeast Center for Cooperative Development seeks to increase economic opportunities and benefits by creating and strengthening cooperative businesses and networks that grow an equitable economy. We give priority to developing the power and capacity of low-income, minority, and/or underserved areas of Metro Nashville and beyond.
We envision a society in which we have eliminated racial and community disparities in employment, wealth, and income with an economy that sustains people, community and earth.
The mission of Southeast Community Day is to celebrate our youth and the diverse cultures that represent Southeast Nashville through food, music, art, dance and community engagement. We know that thriving communities are those that support and engage in collaborative efforts to empower and uplift the people within them. This day will allow us to share our community gifts with all of Nashville.
The Southern Environmental Law Center has a unique, focused mission: use law, policy, and strategic communications expertise to protect all that we love about the South-healthy air and clean water; forests, mountains, wetlands, our coast, and the wildlife they support; our rural countryside; and all of the people in our communities. Serving Tennessee and five other Southern states (VA, NC, SC, GA, and AL), SELC has earned a reputation as one of the most effective environmental organizations in the country. Our team of 100 attorneys work in all branches and all levels of government to create, strengthen, and enforce environmental safeguards. We organize our work into six program areas: Clean Water, Clean Energy & Air, Coast & Wetlands, Land & Community, National Forests & Parks, and Wildlife Protection.
We collaborate closely with scores of partners-ranging from national organizations like American Rivers and National Parks Conservation Association to homegrown Tennessee groups like Harpeth Conservancy and Tennessee Scenic Rivers Association-to complement their skills and efforts and to strengthen the overall conservation community.
