Matthew 25 is a Nashville, TN based non-profit that serves homeless men, including veterans, those out of incarceration, and other men experiencing homelessness. Matthew 25’s mission is to offer Housing, Help and Hope. We offer Help in facing the issues causing homelessness. We offer Hope by walking alongside each of our clients, encouraging them in their recovery.
