Bringing people together to grow, cook
and share nourishing food, with the goals
of cultivating community and alleviating
hunger in our city.
In our gardens, we grow organic food intensively and share resources with others interested in growing their own food.
In our kitchens, we use recovered, donated and garden-grown food to prepare and cook made-from-scratch meals.
In our community, we share nourishing meals in partnership with local poverty-disrupting nonprofits and community groups.
Hot Out of the Oven
We’re in the mood for some holiday cheer (and are always looking to get excited about the next big meal), so we asked some of our meals team about their favorite Thanksgiving dish. Hopefully, the answers get you excited about your own gathering — which we would love to be a part of in some small way!
In the midst of our annual Volunteer Celebration Lunch, an event to show gratitude to all of the many hands and hearts that help sustain our collective work toward community food security, Maggie Atchley reflects on her first couple of months working as the Volunteer Engagement Manager for The Nashville Food Project.

There’s something to be said for things that grow steadily over time — like a well-tended garden. And just like the garden requires patience, care, and dedication to show up again and again, so do partnerships that create lasting change. For the last three years, Love, Tito’s, the philanthropic heart of Tito’s Handmade Vodka, has supported The Nashville Food Project as part of their Block to Block program.
