It's been a busy week in the HSA Food Bank! 🥫

New Creation Church hosted a food drive and helped us restock our food pantry, and St. Joseph of Arimathea brought in even more generous donations!

We are incredibly thankful for our local churches coming alongside us to serve our local community. When churches come together, our Hendersonville neighbors are the ones who benefit!

Thank you, New Creation Church and St. Joseph of Arimathea, for being such wonderful partners in serving our community with compassion and dignity! ❤️

Today, Hendersonville made a little history with our first-ever Hendersonville Benevolence Summit!

We brought together representatives from 9 organizations including: local churches’ benevolence committees, United Way of Greater Nashville, and NES to take a closer look at the needs of our Hendersonville neighbors, identify emerging trends, and begin preparing for what 2027 may bring.

But more than looking at numbers and projections, today was about building relationships, sharing resources, strengthening communication, and finding better ways to work together so that no neighbor falls through the cracks.

We are stronger when we work together!

What an encouraging day and a wonderful reminder of what can happen when churches and community organizations come together with a shared heart for serving others.

A huge thank you to every church, organization, and representative who took the time to be part of this conversation. We are grateful for partners who care deeply about our neighbors and are committed to serving our community with compassion and dignity.

We’re proud to be a partner of United Way of Greater Nashville, and we're grateful to be featured in their latest blog!

At Hendersonville Samaritan Association, volunteers are an essential part of how we serve our neighbors. From sorting donations in the Thrift Store to stocking our Food Bank and helping meet practical needs through our Crisis Ministry, the hands and hearts of volunteers make a tremendous difference.

The blog highlights how Hands On Nashville, powered by United Way of Greater Nashville, helps nonprofits like ours connect with volunteers more easily. This free online resource makes it simple for people to find opportunities, choose a time that works for them, and get involved in serving their community.

As our Executive Director Kyle Hill shared:

"Organizations need your help, and Hands On is an easy, free tool for nonprofit partners so that you can use your time well, and we can use your time well to serve those in need."

We're thankful for United Way of Greater Nashville and the work they do to strengthen nonprofits and connect people who want to make a difference with organizations serving our communities.

Want to serve alongside us? There's a place for you at HSA!

We’re thankful for our church partners at Redeemer Church for bringing their middle school girls group to serve with us tonight! ❤️

These girls are being the hands and feet of Jesus by helping us tackle our ever-growing piles of toys and stuffed animals.

They’re making a real dent in the piles, and we promise… minimal playing with the toys occurred. 😂🧸

We’re grateful for churches like Redeemer who teach the next generation that serving our neighbors is one way we show the love of Christ!

🙌 Worship filled the Samaritan Center this morning!

What a blessing to begin the day in God’s Word and then watch the church put faith into action!

We opened this morning in Numbers 16:46–47, a passage that reminds us of the urgency of standing in the gap for others. Then, Community Church showed up ready to serve our neighbors!

With 30 volunteers rolling up their sleeves, they:

👕 Sorted 1,000 pounds of donated clothing!
🧹 Vacuumed the thrift store and dusted shelves.
🥫 Swept and cleaned the food bank.

They gave their Sunday to serve, care for the resources God has entrusted to us, and help HSA continue serving our neighbors in need.

The church didn’t just gather for worship today. They carried that worship into the community through service. ❤️

Thank you Community Church of Hendersonville, for reminding us that serving our neighbors is a beautiful way to live out our faith!
