Help Make a Difference

Donations:

At present, there is limited funding made available through the State of Tennessee and the TennCare system. Therefore, in order to provide the best care possible, Agape relies on a variety of funding sources, including:

• Individual donations
• Contributions by community organizations
• Donations from religious organizations
• Fundraising events both yearly and intermittently

Although in the past 25 years we have often been stretched financially, we have also been blessed. Whether you donate money, time, food or materials, you can make a huge difference in the lives of these men. Please help us make that difference.

Donation Types:

• General Donation – any dollar amount.
