Drop Off and Pick Up at Belmont UMC, we will travel to First Pres together
Tasha French, Director and Designer of The Contributor, expressed a need for volunteers to help distribute the new monthly paper that comes out the last Wednesday of each month. We will be stationed at The Contributor's headquarters at First Pres Downtown, where we will help sell papers to the vendors who come to the church to pick up their papers to resell around Nashville.
This will be a great way to help out a worthwhile offering to our city, learn first hand about the work of a small paper in Nashville, listen to the stories of some of our neighbors and participate in a great thing in the lives of so many having a good time in the process.
What is the Contributor?
The Contributor is Nashville’s only street newspaper. We strive to print a monthly paper that accomplishes the following:
- Provides a diversity of perspectives and info on the condition of homelessness while highlighting the contributions of homeless and formerly homeless individuals.
- Provides homeless and formerly homeless vendors with a source of income.
- Creates community between vendors and customers.
“Street Newspaper” is a term for a newspaper that focuses on the issues surrounding homelessness and poverty and is sold by homeless and formerly homeless individuals on the street as an alternative to panhandling.
