Help UMC Support Disaster Relief Efforts in Middle Tennessee

Posted on by Leave a comment

Despite the postponement of our March Underground Writers Round due to COVID-19 pandemic concerns, we still encourage you to support ongoing disaster relief efforts in the wake of the tornadoes that ravaged Middle Tennessee.

We have set up a way to donate to Hands On Nashville on our Facebook page. We understand that things are tight for many of you, with the economic impacts of the COVID-19 outbreak on our industry still taking shape. However, if you do have a few dollars to spare, please consider pitching in. If you don’t, we simply ask that you consider sharing this post.

Either way, we appreciate your support for our community.

March 20 Underground Writers Round to Benefit Disaster Relief Efforts

Posted on by Leave a comment

In the wake of the tornadoes that devastated Middle Tennessee in the early morning hours of March 3, all of us — UMC, AGD Entertainment, and the performers — have decided to donate all door proceeds from our upcoming Underground Writers Round at Douglas Corner Cafe to disaster relief efforts in the area.

All funds collected at the door on Friday, March 20 will be donated directly to Hands On Nashville, a local non-profit and one of the many organizations spearheading recovery and cleanup efforts following the storms that damaged much of our region. Hands On Nashville is working hard to coordinate volunteer projects throughout the city, and we wish to provide resources to help them continue this critical work.

We encourage you to learn more about the work of Hands On Nashville and get involved at their website. And, we look forward to seeing you at Douglas Corner on Friday, March 20 at 9 p.m. for a $5 suggested donation.
