There are several volunteer and donation opportunities if you’re looking to get involved. Hands On Nashville still has plenty of volunteer opportunities you can find by searching “#winterstorm26”.
If you’d like to donate, VOAD, United Way of Greater Nashville, and the Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee have opened the Winter Storm Recovery Fund. Funds are being used for food, housing, supplies, and cleanup and debris removal. As of February 12th, they had already distributed $380,000 to nonprofits offering direct assistance.
