Jim Davis speaks with Chris Barnhill, Executive Director of FrankTown Open Hearts located in Franklin, TN. FrankTown Open Hearts inspires, empowers, and equips at risk youth through Christ-centered mentoring, academic support, and hands-on vocational and life skills training. Barnhill says they provide weekly educational programs, transportation, hot meals, and spiritual development opportunities to help underserved children build confidence and envision a successful future. FrankTown works to break cycles of generational poverty and offer hope and opportunity to low-income families in the community. Barnhill also talks about the new facility that they are building on land provided to them by local government. The new building will allow them to serve a much larger group of children and youth when it opens in 2027. (www.franktownopenhearts.com)
