Needs From: Belmont Office of Community-Engaged Learning and Service

Safe Haven Family Shelter is the premier shelter-to-housing program in Middle Tennessee that accommodates families experiencing homelessness. Safe Haven’s mission is to lead the community’s efforts to house, support, empower, and advocate for families experiencing homelessness. 

Safe Haven Family Shelter is gearing up for our annual Hike for Safe Haven, a Nashville favorite for its heavy dose of outdoor fun for friends and family, on Saturday, November 1 at Percy Warner Park (Bob Brown Field Station off of Highway 100). This pet- and stroller-friendly event includes hiking on a paved trail, food, live music, children’s activities and more! It takes over 150 volunteers to make this event a success. Sign up to volunteer on your own or with friends, family or colleagues. Opportunities include helping with set up/cleanup, registration, children’s activities, t-shirt distribution, and more.

We utilize Golden Volunteer to organize our volunteer opportunities. In addition to responding to this Need in Get Connected, volunteers must go to the link below to sign up: 

Volunteer for Hike for Safe Haven 2025

Also consider participating in the hike! Feel free to sign up and team up! Represent your University!

We are seeking a family-friendly musician with songs appropriate for all ages and backgrounds to play unplugged or acoustic shows at our family shelter! 
 
Considerations for the Artist:

Music cannot contain religious or political references or swearing, etc.  While we have no PA system, our building has phenomenal acoustics! Shows are typically scheduled Monday, Wednesday or Friday evenings between 5:30-8pm. Most sets are 1-1.5 hours in length and sharing where to find your music post-show (Spotify, etc.) is encouraged!

 
Interested? Email Alexandra at afurr@safehaven.org with your availability, contact information and Instagram profile to be considered.
