Noah, where's the Ark?

The rains have come with a vengeance, and unfortunately have not been too kind to some of our neighbors!  Many of you have called asking what you can do to help.  We are here for you, but we need to know who you are!  We also need more volunteers!


We've got two great groups--the Crieve Hall Cares Committee and the Community Emergency Response Team (CERT).  You may have read about this on the CHNA website:

If you want to prepare your family for all kinds of disasters consider taking the Family Disaster Training classes taught by the Nashville Mayor's Office of Emergency Management. It's FREE. Next classes start July 22.  You may read full details on the classes and what you will learn here.

The CHC Committee is working together with the Crieve Hall CERT teams to make sure we are here for the neighborhood.

Here are things we may need to help flood victims:

• Sump Pumps
• Shop Vacs
• Towels/Shams
• Fans
• Water
• Food

The CERT team is trained to help in times of crisis, but they need to know who needs help!  The CHC Committee will be here to help with the aftermath--to help families clean up the messes and get their lives back in order.

If you are interested in helping others in the neighborhood, know of someone who needs help, or need help yourself, please contact one of the volunteers below.  We can help:

• Clean Yards/haul off debris
• Helping to clean home/reorganize
• Carry off trash
• Supplying food/water 
• Plus whatever else you may need

Crieve Hall Really Cares!

It's been a year and obviously this blog doesn't get the traction that it should.  However, the Cares Committee has been hard at work!  We've had some incredible things happen this year, and have made a great group of volunteers!  We're working on welcome kits to put in the homes of every new homeowner--complete with information on local vendors, neighborhood favorites, etc.  We have meals prepared and a list of volunteers ready to make more for any families with new babies, suffering a loss, etc.  We have a team of people ready to help out for handyman repairs, cleaning, yards, and more.  We have some eager grandparents and children for our Adopt-a-Grandparent program, and we've started some fun social events as well! 

The women's Bunco group has exploded, and the Book Club has a blast.  We just hand delivered fliers to all 2000 homes with a calendar for this year's social events. 

Our facebook fanpage gets regular visits--join the group by clicking at the logo on the side!  We're thrilled to have a great group of people ready and willing to help others in this community--through acts of kindness and friendship--it's what being a "neighbor" is all about!
