Donations
Very specific donation requests include large quantities of the following: diapers, baby formula, cleaning supplies and rubber gloves, wet vacs, brooms, mops, dehumidifers and generators. If citizens have large quantities, they should contact the Community Foundation of Middle TN at www.cfmt.org or 321-4939. The most urgent need continues to be cash donations, which can be made to the Metro Disaster Fund at CFMT.
Disaster Information Centers Closed, REBUILD HOUSING CLINICS TO BEGIN MEETING WITH CITIZENS THIS SATURDAY
ReBuild Clinics will be held this weekend by appointment to provide one-on-one sessions designed to help Nashvillians affected by the flood pull together an action plan for moving forward with the recovery process. Initial clinics are scheduled for Saturday, May 22 in six locations. A team of advisors will help individuals and families evaluate the resources available to them and work with them to create a personal plan for recovery and rebuilding. Participants will have the option to schedule follow-up appointments at nonprofit sponsor agencies. They will also have the option of requesting follow-up case management.
Beginning Thursday May 20, individuals and families can call 862-6778 to make an appointment. Callers will be advised of the information they should bring with them to the ReBuild Clinic. Sessions—tailored for both renters and owners—will be conducted by three core team members familiar with disaster and housing resources, personal finance, and the construction process. Other disciplines such as legal, social service, CPAs will be on hand at each site to provide support as necessary.

Using a network of non-profit and faith-based distribution centers allows citizens to access resources closer to their homes through congregations and agencies already well established in neighborhoods. This effort is coordinated through the Middle TN VOAD (Volunteer Organizations Active in Disaster), a network of more than 50 faith and non-profit organizations that will partner with the city in coordinating human services such as case management, mental health, housing transition, and food access as families and neighborhoods move more deeply into the recovery.
Individuals and business owners can continue to file for FEMA claims and seek information on individual assistance through a growing network of FEMA Disaster Recovery Centers (DRC). Once registered, staff at the recover centers can check an individual’s case, answer questions about claims and provide other assistance. U.S. Small Business Administration representatives will be at the centers to answer any questions about SBA low interest disaster loan program for homeowners, renters, businesses and private non-profit organizations of all sizes. The loans are to repair or replace real estate and/or personal property damaged by the storms and flooding in Davidson County.
FEMA Disaster Recovery Center locations in Davidson County are:
- 100 Oaks Mall, 719 Thompson Lane
- Ford Complex Community Building, 2620 W. Heiman Street
- Hartman Park Community Center, 2801 Tucker Rd.
- SBA Small Business Recovery Center, TSU, Avon Williams Campus
