Help the needy,
your way.
We’re a new organization in Nashville partnering with restaurants, stores, and service providers to give what they have to neighbors without housing.
01 / THE IDEA
From available
to essential.
What You Can is an organization connecting surplus food and essential items with people experiencing homelessness.
At closing time, a restaurant may have ten good meals. A shop may have warm socks. A barber may have an open chair. None of it fixes homelessness alone.
Together, it becomes a reliable current of care.
02 / THE LOOP
Small offers.
One useful system.
-
01
Offer it
A local business lets us know about food, goods, time, or a service it can share.
-
02
Plan it
We find where the offer can help most and plan its distribution.
-
03
We pick it up
We collect the offer and take it where it needs to go.
-
04
Close the loop
The donor sees that their offer was received, with a photo or a short video.
03 / HOW WE SHOW UP
Care without
the performance.
Dignity first
People choose what works for them. Giving never becomes a photo opportunity.
Useful over flashy
Current needs guide every match, so energy is not wasted on the wrong things.
Local and accountable
Trusted Nashville partners help offers arrive safely and close the loop.
04 / START SMALL

you can.
Tell us the one thing your business could offer. We will shape the rest around what is realistic.
