We empower individuals through volunteer coordination, disaster response, community classes, and blessing boxes.
We support nonprofits and churches with office sharing, networking, and resource partnerships, helping bring visions into reality and establish 501c3 status.
We partner with local municipalities, first responders, and businesses to provide volunteer assistance when needed, filling gaps for citizens without safety nets.
As members of Tennessee VOAD and local VOADs, we assist in disaster response with volunteer coordination and resource distribution.
Classes from Life Plan Workshops to Storm Prep equip community members for daily life.
Preparation is key in all areas of life! Whether you are talking about a plan to accomplish your goals or how to respond when the unexpected happens. The saying, “Those who fail to plan, plan to fail,” is absolutely true. Classes held at our offices and in partnership with programs like Fifty Forward and BSA. Our current Community Class roster includes: Living With Swager Life Plan Workshop, Volunteer and Disaster Response Training, Basic Home Repair Skills Class, Storm Preparedness Class, Resume Preparation Workshop, and Job Skills Workshop (for teenagers). Contact us here for times or to inquire about hosting one of these classes for your group.
Collecting and distributing resources when needed at any time, disaster or not.
Through partnerships with local retailers, nonprofits (local and national), churches, and individuals within the community, we are able to meet needs as they happen for individuals in areas we serve. Something we take for granted like a faucet can be catastrophic for a resident without the means or skills to make the needed repair or hire someone to do the job. Let alone purchasing the item that needs to be replaced.
Our partners fill the gap by providing the resources needed in times of disaster or in blue skies.
Meeting community needs through volunteer engagement and local partnerships.
In times of disaster or when the unexpected impacts the day-to-day life of residents in the region, we partner with church groups, local business partners, school service programs, and individuals for across the country to meet the needs of those impacted.
We provide opportunities for students needing hours for Beta Club or Hope Scholarship requirements to serve. We also work with interns to assist with daily operations within the organization. Volunteers of all skill levels are
“Look at this! Elvis spent some time outside today. We took him up and down his new ramp and soaked up some sunshine. You guys worked so hard all day! I can’t begin to know how to show our appreciation, except to ask God to pour out a giant blessing upon you!”

How we serve
Walk through the four ways Walking With Swager shows up in Middle Tennessee — classes, food access, supplies, and hands-on projects.
01 / Service Projects
Churches, schools, businesses, and neighbors join us for hands-on projects — ramps, cleanups, disaster response, and everyday fixes.
When the unexpected hits Middle Tennessee, we mobilize people to meet real needs on the ground.
02 / Education
Workshops help neighbors plan ahead: life goals, home skills, storm prep, and job readiness. Held at our offices and with partners like Fifty Forward and BSA.
03 / Blessing Boxes
Community-filled boxes placed where neighbors can give or take quietly, without paperwork or intake lines.
1 in 5 students in the region face food insecurity. Children are hit hardest — and the trend is rising across Middle Tennessee.
Filled by neighbors. Open to neighbors. Built to reduce shame around asking for help.
04 / Resource Distribution
Retailers, churches, nonprofits, and individuals help us move essentials fast — after a disaster or on an ordinary Tuesday.
A broken faucet can be catastrophic without tools, skills, or funds. Partners close that gap.
