Volunteer Impact in 2020

The year 2020 has brought with it many difficulties and challenges that we had to overcome, but even in the middle of a pandemic we have come together and made a huge difference in Middle Tennessee by meeting new and emergent needs as they came up. GNRC is extremely proud of our wonderful volunteers and their amazing accomplishments this year and we are extremely grateful for the compassion they have shown for people in our communities, especially for our older adults and disabled populations in need during 2020.

Important Announcements and Exciting News!

As you were probably aware, I was expecting a little baby boy and had planned to start my maternity leave at some point within the next three weeks. However, today at 12:43am, a healthy baby boy decided to make his entrance into the world! So I will be taking my maternity leave a bit sooner, but rest assured that you will be in good hands while I am gone. We have hired a wonderful intern, Seham Yateem, who will spend a couple of hours each week making sure all things with volunteers still run smoothly.
