Making an Impact, One Meal at a Time

Serving the homeless, seniors, and families with dignity and love

Our Mission

At Lively Hearts, we believe every person deserves a second chance. Our mission is to uplift, empower, and support individuals and families—including men, women, youth, and seniors—who are experiencing homelessness, re-entry after incarceration, or other hardships.

Through faith-centered programs, job training, transitional housing, youth mentorship, senior support, and community outreach, we strive to restore hope and help rebuild lives one heart at a time.

Why Our Work Matters

  • At-Risk Youth in Tennessee

    1,001 children and 629 young adults (ages 18–24) experienced homelessness in Tennessee in 2023. (Source: mpa.utah.edu, funraise.org, cafth.org)


    Our programs aim to provide safe spaces, mentoring, and essentials to prevent youth homelessness.

  • Barriers After Incarceration

    Formerly incarcerated people are nearly 10× more likely to become homeless, with women especially vulnerable. (prisonpolicy.org)


    Through transitional housing and job support, we help reduce this risk and restore stability.

  • Protecting Our Elders

    Millions of seniors are aging alone without access to safe housing, proper nutrition, or support systems. Over 7.5 million older adults live in poverty.

    We work to ensure seniors receive the dignity, housing, and care they deserve.
