WME Nashville and Safe Haven Family Shelter continue their partnership to assist families in need this holiday season. WME staff, clients Lily Rose and Ashley Cooke, and industry partners donated their time and money to help make the holidays a little brighter for 21 families.
“I am so thankful to be able to help the families at Safe Haven Family Shelter for a second year,” said WME agent Carrie Murphy, who spearheaded the efforts. “I am moved at the generous spirit of my colleagues, clients and industry friends for jumping in to make sure these families truly have a Christmas to remember. Safe Haven does tremendous work throughout the year and we are honored to play a small part in that as we close the year.”
Hundreds of gifts were purchased and wrapped and will be distributed later this week. Last year's donations included bicycles, toys, clothes, daily essentials and much more. Safe Haven Family Shelter is still accepting monetary donations, and you can give by visiting www.safehaven.org.
Safe Haven supports families who, because of a variety of circumstances, cannot afford gifts for their loved ones. Each year, the organization compiles a wish list from every family with the hope that volunteers will donate their time and resources to fulfill those requests.
WME continually seeks out new ways to serve the local community. Throughout the year, team members dedicate their time and resources to an array of initiatives—ranging from sponsoring an annual Habitat for Humanity Build to joining in the company-wide day of service, Walk the Walk.
