Second Harvest Food Bank of Middle Tennessee

The mission of Second Harvest Food Bank of Middle Tennessee is to provide food to people facing hunger and work to advance hunger solutions. Approximately 339,410 people in 46 Tennessee counties receive food from SHFB each year. Food is distributed through 460 not-for-profit agencies such as senior centers, treatment facilities, low-income daycare centers, and food pantries. SHFB operates an Emergency Food Box program in Davidson County that helps individuals and families with emergency food needs. SHFB's Children's Feeding Programs provide low-income children with a nutritious evening meal or a Backpack bag of food for the weekend when school meals are not available. Our grocery rescue effort picks up food products from grocery stores and distributes them to partner agencies in our service area. The Project Preserve Program purchases and manufactures millions of pounds of food for distribution to agencies in Middle Tennessee as well as to food banks across the country.
