Event shines a light on mission-driven Franklin businesses

A downtown Franklin event has been planned to highlight three mission-driven organizations located on West Monroe Street.

Missions on Monroe will be held throughout the day on Saturday, highlighting the work of Coffeehouse Five, ByTavi, and Ann’s Restaurant. These local businesses are coming together to raise awareness of their efforts to support the community through the proceeds earned on the sale of their products and services.
