Reflecting on a Century of Waffle Shop
|
The Downtown Presbyterian Church is full of gratitude to the community for supporting this year’s Waffle Shop so enthusiastically. We are particularly thankful for our corporate sponsors, including The Contributor. As hoped, nearly 500 people attended and we raised over $15,000! All of the funds from Waffle Shop are allocated to the church’s mission to provide a free meal to the community each Saturday morning. This year’s event was a celebration of Waffle Shop’s traditions, the Christmas holiday, and our downtown community — all while supporting a very worthy cause!

10 Ways to Build Community in Nashville
Tell your friends to buy and read the newspaper from a Contributor vendor. You’re already there if you’re reading this, but chances are you have at least a couple of folks in your circle who’ve never had the pleasure of interacting with one of our vendors or reading the paper they sell. Vendors grow their microbusinesses by purchasing more copies for 50 cents, which they sell on the street for $2. This is the vendors’ money to keep. Free papers, gear and map badges (reserved locations) incentivize vendors to grow their microbusinesses.
