The Ladies of Charity of Nashville is an organization of Catholic Women who volunteer their time and talents in many areas of charitable work in the local community.
The Welfare Office distributes clothing, food, payments for utilities, rent, prescription medicines and funeral expenses to needy people in Nashville. It receives funds from the United Way and helps people referred by the Department of Human Services and the Catholic Charities Refugee Resettlement program. The Ladies of Charity serves nearly 10,000 women, children and men each year.
The Thrift Shop was opened in 1948 in order to help fund the Welfare Office budget. Over the years, it has grown into a large operation and has served as a model for the many consignment sales that are now operated by many organizations as a way to raise money. The Thrift Shop, which has become a Nashville institution, opens twice a year in the spring and fall. Clothing is accepted on consignment by invitation only and all items must meet high standards. The Thrift Shop is shopper friendly, featuring a wide selection of good quality, fashionable clothing at reasonable prices for the whole family.
