Charis Ministries

Charis Ministries is a faith based food provider. 

A blurb from their website:
Charis provides food assistance to any caller in the Nashville area who needs help when an unexpected shortfall arises. Many events can disrupt a family's income or add a new expense, and delivering a box of basic food items may help them make it past the difficulty. We don't help with a routine monthly budget, but when something out of the ordinary happens, we want to ensure a family has meals while they work things out.
