NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — A Nashville church congregation is stepping up to help families struggling with food insecurity, spending hundreds of dollars of their own money to provide free home-cooked meals to communities in need.
Pastor Shelley Morrison and members of the Remnant Church have made it their mission to serve their neighbors three times a month, no matter the cost. Morrison said the church "very easily spends $300 to $500" shopping for ingredients to prepare meals for anyone who needs them.
"People need a good home-cooked meal," Morrison said. "Anybody's welcome to come and get a plate."
The church's outreach focuses on areas like Nashville's Napier neighborhood, an area without nearby grocery stores where more than half the children live below the poverty line. Church membe
