“I donate to Renewal House because it makes a very real difference in the lives of women and children in Nashville. It is the only facility of its kind where mothers and children can remain together while mothers recover from addiction and develop the necessary parenting and work skills. By supporting Renewal House, I am contributing to healing and hope in our community.”
---Christine Modisher, General Counsel and Secretary to the Tennessee Board of Regents

”I have invested in Renewal House because of the positive impact it makes on our community. Great work is being done there to keep families together and on the road to recovery, while saving taxpayer dollars. Renewal House is a good investment for Nashville.”
---Ken Melkus, Melkus Family Foundation

Freda's Story
"The staff members were so warm and understanding. They guided me and my steps until I could do it on my own. The group therapy sessions were a God send; it provided me with a safe place to peel back layer and layer of often painful, painful stuff but all so necessary for the healing process to begin."
