Resources/Get Help
Many survivors of the May 2010 Nashville flood are still struggling to meet a myriad of needs, and United Way has organized community resources and will push them out to the areas that have been hardest hit, utilizing a platform it developed over the past decade to serve some of Nashville’s neediest neighborhoods.

United Way Restore The Dream Centers
United Way of Metropolitan Nashville and five of its partner agencies opened a Restore The Dream Center in six locations to work one-on-one with individuals and families struggling to put their lives and their homes back together in the wake of the May 2010 Nashville Flood. The Restore The Dream Centers utilize the same model used in United Way’s Family Resource Centers (click here to read about the grand opening).
United Way Restore The Dream Centers are located in the neighborhoods hit hardest by the flood. The centers have trained case managers on-site who work with individuals to design feasible solutions to meet their needs. Through a series of in-depth questions, the case managers gain a thorough understanding of each victim’s specific needs and bring together the mix of services that victim will need to make progress toward restoring their life.

What is the Restore The Dream Fund?
The United Way Restore The Dream Fund was established in 1999 through a personal gift from Cal Turner, Jr. and a corporate gift from Dollar General Corporation of $250,000 to be managed and administered by United Way of Metropolitan Nashville volunteers. The United Way Restore The Dream Fund was designed to assist non-profit organizations throughout Middle Tennessee to recover and resume operations in the event of natural or man-made disasters. United Way of Metropolitan Nashville has invested the dollars according to the volunteer finance committee’s oversight and investment strategy.
