Here at NewsChannel 5, we want to do everything we can to help our neighbors in the need. That's why we're partnering with the Scripps Howard Fund to create the Winter Storm Relief Fund.

NewsChannel 5 will work with Second Harvest Food Bank and Hands On Nashville to aid our neighbors impacted by the storm.

DONATE HERE:

In the last couple days, Second Harvest has already provided more than 20,000 meals for families in warming shelters and they're planning a major food distribution in the coming days.

Hands On Nashville will lead the city's volunteer cleanup effort once it's safe to do so.

If you'd like to make a tax-deductible donation - all you have to do is scan the QR code.

Tenn. mom invites son's organ recipients to do his favorite activity, dance

Here’s a beautiful story of how one mother turned her grief journey into a gathering of gratitude… and organ donation awareness.

Robb Coles highlights a special event organized by Cari Hollis – whose 26-year old son Austin died two years ago. Austin agreed to be an organ donor – and that single gesture saved multiple lives.

Cari reached out to as many recipients she could find – several of whom traveled to Nashville for an emotional celebration in Austin’s honor. One woman – whose life was saved by receiving Austin’s lungs – put it simply: “He’s my angel”.
