volunteers
Volunteers are the heart of The Nashville Food Project. From tending gardens and caring for bees to baking bread, chopping fresh produce, and packaging meals, our volunteers are integral to everything we do. Their time, skills, and passion help us cultivate not only food, but a more just and sustainable food system for Nashville — one that nourishes our entire community.
