Our Mission

Second Harvest Food Bank of Middle Tennessee is a private, nonprofit organization.  Our mission is to feed hungry people and work to solve hunger issues in our community. Second Harvest distributes food and other products to approximately 400 nonprofit partner agencies in 46 counties in Middle and West Tennessee. Our partners include food pantries, soup kitchens, shelters, childcare facilities, senior centers, group homes, and youth enrichment programs.

For every dollar donated, we can provide four meals to those in need. Second Harvest leverages economies of scale, food manufacturing, bulk buying and partnerships with grocers, food companies and others to make sure each donation has the greatest possible impact.
