SERVING THOSE WHO ARE HUNGRY AND HOMELESS IN NASHVILLE
A LIFE WELL LIVED
Recently, one of our long-time supporters and former board members, J. Lee Bonnett, (https://everloved.com/life-of/jessie-bonnet/obituary/) passed away. It is fitting to take some space to honor her memory for all that she did for Luke 14:12. She was tireless in her efforts to support Luke and find ways to supplement our pantry with donated goods from grocery stores (most notably Whole Foods!) and restaurants around town. I was always amazed at the amount of food she would pack in her car for delivery to us when we served at the Room in the Inn campus.
She was also extremely kind and generous toward our guests and our employees, several of whom had come from the ranks of the unhoused prior to joining our team. Whether it be finding a piece of furniture or a television, she was generous with her time and her resources.
It was an honor serving alongside J. Lee on the Luke 14:12 Board. She will be missed.
Mission
Luke 14:12 is a non-profit soup kitchen providing free meals to the hungry, homeless, and working poor of Nashville. Our mission is to provide a nutritious meal every thursday at 11:30 in partnership with restoration pointe. We invite all who are hungry to be guests at our table!
Volunteers are integral to Luke 14:12! For each meal, we need 14 volunteers to best serve our guests. We enlist both groups of volunteers as well as individual volunteers.
640 lbs of canned goods donated to Luke 14:12. Thank you, Second Harvest and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development!
The food prepared at Luke 14:12 is purchased wholesale or from Second Harvest Foodbank or is donated from our volunteer groups. Your group, agency or company can collect non-perishable food items for Luke 14:12.
