For three months, a group of women living at the Salvation Army’s Center of Hope participated in a “PhotoVoice” group. The purpose of this project was to share stories of the lives of women experiencing homelessness in Nashville through photographs. The pictures taken explored themes such as hope and joy, the importance of familial relationships, and the need for acceptance. We hope you will plan to attend as we share the results from this enlightening project.
