The BCN meals on Wheels network, known as the Greater Charlotte Hot Lunch Cooperative, is a consortium of thirteen North Nashville churches. The program provides a nutritious daily meal, Monday through Friday, as well as emergency and shelf-stable meals for weekends and holidays. Meals are delivered by volunteers who provide an opportunity for social interaction to clients, and for many, this is their only human contact on a regular basis. The Meals on Wheels program serves 216 clients and provides 54,000 meals each year.

WFSK 88.1FM, an educational community-based radio station is owned and operated by Fisk University.  The station has deep roots to the Nashville community.  Licensed by the FCC in 1973 as WRFN (the original Radio-Free Nashville) and later underwent a Call Letter change in May 1983 to WFSK. By the old-school college radio standards, WFSK has evolved from the “traditional college model” of student-led to community-driven. 

     The Fisk station’s model is for sustainability purposes.   As many in media industry-wide trends have brought about change and so it has for college radio. 

WFSK became the first African American FM radio station on the dial in Nashville, and the first African American FM owned & operated radio station in Nashville, Tennessee.  JAZZY 88 became the station’s first moniker in 2012 with a solid 24/7 Smooth & Contemporary Jazz music format, truly making it Nashville’s Jazz station.  Receiving numerous awards over the years, WFSK remains a favorite among connoisseurs of the genre.  The station has been a Billboard Reporting station for more than a decade.  In continuing to meet the needs of the community the station has six live talk programs and cross-cultural weekend programming.
