Second Harvest Food Bank of Middle Tennessee



Today, Second Harvest Food Bank of Middle Tennessee is one of the largest and most comprehensive of over 200 food banks and food distribution centers nationwide. During the 2006/2007 fiscal year, Second Harvest distributed more than 37.4 million pounds of food to hungry men, women, and children. Second Harvest Food Bank of Middle Tennessee was named 2003 Affiliate of the Year by America's Second Harvest. The Food Bank is proud to share this prestigious award with the thousands of supporters and leaders who have supported Second Harvest over the past 30 years.

Second Harvest’s vision of ending hunger is more important than ever. Hunger is a big problem, and it cannot be solved without everyone’s help. There are 35 million Americans deemed by the government to be food insecure, and there are more than 8 million children receiving food assistance. One in five people in a soup kitchen line is now a child. In Middle Tennessee alone, 47% of the people Second Harvest serves are children.

If you or someone you know is in need of emergency food assistance, Second Harvest can help. Please call 615. 329. 3491, and we will direct you to an Emergency Food Box site near you.
