Redeeming Lives.
Restoring Hope.
A Christ-centered ministry in Dickson County providing shelter, support, and spiritual care for those experiencing homelessness.
At Kinsman Redeemer, we believe every person deserves to be seen, heard, and loved—no matter their circumstances. Based in Dickson County, Tennessee, we serve individuals and families facing homelessness by providing essential support, spiritual care, and a path toward restoration.
Our work is rooted in the biblical concept of the “kinsman redeemer”—a family protector who steps in during times of crisis. In that spirit, we strive to be present for our neighbors in need, offering not just food or shelter, but compassion, advocacy, and hope for lasting change.

Our Story
Kinsman Redeemer began with a simple but powerful calling: to serve the displaced with the heart of Christ. What started as a grassroots outreach has grown into a multi-faceted ministry, fueled by volunteers, churches, local businesses, and generous donors who share our vision.
Over time, we’ve expanded to meet the real and growing needs in our community. From serving meals to building shelters, our focus remains the same: restore dignity, rebuild lives, and reflect God’s love in practical ways.
What We Do
- Naomi’s Dwelling: A safe, stable transitional home for single women experiencing homelessness.
- Street Outreach & Volunteer Teams: Distributing food, clothing, and essentials directly to unhoused individuals.
- Community Collaboration: Partnering with churches, businesses, and individuals to run supply drives, offer job readiness resources, and meet immediate needs.
