The Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee could not be more honored to present the 25th annual Joe Kraft Humanitarian Award to Charles Strobel.

A native Nashvillian and a revered member of the Catholic Community, Charles Strobel has dedicated his life to offering hospitality and hope to the city’s homeless population. He is founding director of Room in the Inn, which, since 1986 has provided shelter for almost 1,500 homeless individuals each winter through the combined effort of what is now nearly 200 Nashville-area congregations and more than 7,000 volunteers. In 1995, the organization opened its downtown campus, which offers emergency services, transitional programs and long-term solutions to help people rebuild their lives.

The Joe Kraft Humanitarian Award was created to perpetuate the memory of a remarkable person who led our community by strength of character and unwavering integrity. The award is given annually to individuals who, like Joe, have made life better for others through hard work, bold dedication to service and strong faith in the human spirit.
