MISSION - WHAT WE DO

Second Harvest’s mission is to provide food to people facing hunger and work to advance hunger solutions.

VISION - GOALS AND ASPIRATIONS

We solve for hunger and food insecurity. These factors contribute to poor health, anxiety, lower grades in school and behavioral problems.

SERVICES - HOW WE DO IT

All our services can be found here - https://www.secondharvestmidtn.org/learn/feeding-programs/. Emergency Food Box Program Through the Emergency Food Box Program (EFB), Second Harvest distributes emergency food items via 16 Nashville satellite locations to individuals and families in crisis. Each Emergency Food Box contains enough to feed a household for about three days. Boxes contain meats, vegetables, fruits, peanut butter, crackers, cereal, bread, baking goods, and more. Community Food Partners program, Middle Tennessee's Table program: Community Food Partners distributes food to 490 nonprofit partner agencies in 46 Tennessee counties, including day care centers, youth development programs, senior centers, foster care facilities, emergency shelters, and community centers. Middle Tennessee’s Table (formerly Nashville’s Table) now rescues excess food from 232 grocery stores like Kroger, Publix, Food Lion, Sam’s and Wal-Mart. This food is then sorted and distributed throughout our 46-county service area. The Mobile Pantry Program also falls under Community Food Partners. This program allows us to hold large-scale food distributions, usually in rural areas, without requiring food storage capacity. Kids Cafe program and BackPack program: Kids Cafe is an evening meal program designed to feed children from low-income families. In FYE18, the program provided 20,374 meals and 79,342 snacks to 1,373 food insecure children. Kids Cafe also provides daily summer breakfasts and snacks. The BackPack program bridges the weekend nutrition gap for children who are unlikely to receive proper nutrition at home when school meals are not available. Project Preserve: Project Preserve has been a program of Second Harvest Food Bank of Middle Tennessee since 1992. The program leverages economies of scale, manufacturing, and logistics expertise to provide a comprehensive co-op and manufacturing program to our partner agencies, food banks and other nonprofit organizations. Our team coordinates purchasing of core grocery and household items—saving food banks both time and money—therefore enabling us to feed more food insecure people each day. Project Preserve distributes more than 40 million pounds of food and grocery products to 130 food banks across the country each year.
