Organizations gather to help the homeless

I think I saw Jesus at Municipal Auditorium Tuesday.

I had the privilege of being a volunteer at the Homeless Connect Project where hundreds of Nashville’s homeless community gathered to meet, face to face, with over 40 agencies and organizations that provided services that ranged from health care to assistance with housing to even haircuts.

As I greeted our citizens who came through the front door to receive much needed help and support, I remembered why I truly love living in Nashville.

As I was leaving to return to work, I walked by an area staffed by the folks from the Campus for Human Development. What I saw was over 20 stations that were set up, literally, to wash the feet of the homeless who walked, many from a long distance, to get to Municipal Auditorium.

Thinking back, I did see Jesus.
