Raising a family can be rewarding, but it also comes with challenges. Sometimes families need help with food, housing, health education, or other support. Throughout Tennessee, many people don't know where to look for these services. That's where the Tennessee Community Compass comes in.
Community Compass is a free online tool that helps families find trusted local resources. Instead of searching multiple websites or making endless phone calls, caregivers can type in their zip code and instantly see programs nearby. More than 1500 services are listed across the state.
Why This Matters for Families
Community Compass was designed with families in mind. It gives parents and caregivers peace of mind, knowing they can quickly find reliable support when and where they need it most. It is also:
· Free and easy to use! There is no cost or sign-up required.
· Private and secure! Your personal information stays protected.
· Family friendly! Resources are explained clearly and sorted by needs.
· Connected! Referrals are followed up on, so families get connected to the help they were looking for.
This tool also helps schools, clinics, and nonprofits guide families to the right place. That means less stress, less worrying, and more time for families to focus on other important matters.
A Stronger and Healthier Tennessee
When families have the right support at the right time, life feels a little easier. Community Compass gives parents and caregivers one less thing to worry about by helping them find what they need without the stress. This program is a lifeline that connects Tennesseans to real solutions that are making our families stronger and healthier.
