What Is NPW?

NPW celebrates the unique partnership among America’s workers, their companies, the payroll professionals who pay them and critical government programs such as, social security, Medicare, fair labor standards and child support. Together, through payroll withholding, they contribute and collect 67% of U.S. Treasury revenue.
This special week celebrates many things important to each of us who work. From the economic, cultural, and social achievements of workers, to the significance of “an honest day’s work for an honest day’s pay,” National Payroll Week is a celebration on many levels.

In conjunction with our National Payroll week Celebration, we partner with 
Safe Haven Family Shelter
Vision: To eliminate family homelessness in Middle Tennessee.

Mission: Lead our community’s efforts to house, support, empower and advocate for families experiencing homelessness.
Safe Haven has 30 years of experience in the changing field of family homelessness. Safe Haven is the only shelter-to-housing program of its kind in Middle Tennessee that accepts the entire homeless family providing comprehensive services that empower them to achieve lasting self-sufficiency.

​We have 10 spaces for families with children in our Shelter. Following a housing first model,  we begin a housing plan when families enter shelter. Though multiple community grants, we are able to assist approximately 30 families at a time with housing in the community.
