NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — Nashville nonprofit Thistle Farms will host an all-day fundraising event on December 3 with extended shopping hours and pre-purchased take home dinners in celebration of GivingTuesday at The Café at Thistle Farms.

On GivingTuesday, Thistle Farms seeks to raise $100,000 in one day for the organization, which serves women survivors of human trafficking and prostitution through a two-year residential program, job training and meaningful employment opportunities, and a lifelong community of support.

Longtime breakfast tradition continues for friends who met through Big Brothers Big Sisters mentorship

This is a beautiful story of chosen family, proving a father figure doesn't have to have biology in common to make a difference in a child's life. The story of De'Andre and Alex will remind you that our relationships help determine the course of our lives. And that being supportive of someone - through a meal, a shared experience or even swim lessons can make all the difference.
