The heart of Nashville's disaster response
Supporting Middle Tennessee in the Moments that Matter
The Nashville VOAD is a coalition of local businesses and organizations that coordinate to support Davidson Co. residents in times of crisis.
Winter Storm Response & Needs Tracker Update
The Needs Tracker will close operations at 7pm on March 5th.
The tracker has served as the central intake system for individuals and families reporting unmet needs following the winter storm. Closing the tracker will allow partner agencies and case management teams time to review, verify, and coordinate responses to the requests already submitted.
Community members who still need assistance after the tracker closes are encouraged to contact 2-1-1, a free and confidential service that connects people with local resources and support.
