The Race Against Hunger | Second Harvest Food Bank

Second Harvest Food Bank of Middle Tennessee opened its doors in 1978 with commitment from several community leaders. The purpose of the organization was to provide a central distribution center for companies, groups, and individuals who wished to help provide food to people facing hunger in Middle Tennessee.

Massive quantities of food get dumped into landfills, yet 1 in 8 Middle Tennesseans is at risk of hunger. This is partially a logistics problem. Thanks to our donors and volunteers, Second Harvest has the space and manpower to manage large shipments, break them into smaller units, and send them at the right time and in the right quantity to our network of Partner Agencies across 46 counties.

Please join FEI Nashville and Courtney Blaise, Director, Community Engagement | Second Harvest Food Bank, as she discusses their history and the day to day operations of the Food Bank.
