Rise Up Nashville: A Day of Hope, Healing, and Human Connection

Thursday, November 20, 2025 | 10 AM – 4 PM | Proclamation Church, South Nashville

About the Event

This November, Nashville comes together for something truly special — Rise Up Nashville, a citywide community care initiative powered by Nashville Fit Magazine, WellPoint, Metro Nashville, Proclamation Church, and Salt Project.

The mission is simple but powerful: to bridge the divide between Nashville’s unsheltered population and the supportive community around them — while investing in the well-being of those who serve on the front lines.

Through collaboration, compassion, and action, Rise Up Nashville aims to lift up our neighbors, empower nonprofit heroes, and build a healthier, more connected city.

Our Mission in Action

Immediate Impact:

We’ll provide food, clothing, warmth, and access to vital community resources for individuals experiencing homelessness — while offering restorative wellness services for the nonprofit and outreach professionals who care for them daily.

Community Connection:

This event strengthens relationships between Nashville’s unhoused community, volunteers, and service providers through shared purpose and face-to-face collaboration.

Awareness & Education:

By shining a light on the needs of the unhoused and the importance of caring for caregivers, we aim to inspire local individuals and businesses to support year-round sustainably.

Ongoing Support:

Rise Up Nashville is not a one-day event — it’s the start of long-term pathways toward housing, employment, and health. Together, we’re building partnerships that sustain the well-being of both our neighbors and those who serve them.
