Tucson, Nashville, and a former intern - great connections
In the summer, Vine Street youth will be participating in an immersion trip to Tucson with Be the Neighbor to learn about migration.
Throughout the summer, Vine Street will also partner with Be the Neighbor by making our building available for immersion trips to Nashville. Groups from all over the US, from Colorado to Connecticut, will come to Nashville to learn about housing and homelessness, and they will be staying in our building. Be the Neighbor’s co-executive director Rev. Allison Lanza is a former Vine Street intern. She writes, “I am particularly thrilled because Vine Street is where I first developed a lot of the ideas that have become Be The Neighbor; so to be in this space with the dream more fully realized will be such a gift.”
Rev. Catherine DeMoss (a Disciples Divinity House at Vanderbilt alum) will be the site coordinator for Be the Neighbor and working with Vine Street staff and the visiting groups we’ll be hosting.
We are excited about partnering in this ministry, and grateful to be stewards of such a great space!
