A Box Full of Blessings: Nunnelly’s Mission to Feed the Community
In the quiet bend of the highway through Hickman County, Tennessee, the community of Nunnelly carries its history close. Named for a family who settled there in the early 1800s, their generosity shaped the town. In 1924, they gave land for a school; in 1939, land for a church — Nunnelly United Methodist Church — which still stands today.
