We share food with partner organizations across the city to support their vibrant work. Whether a youth program providing an afterschool meal or a refugee support group offering veggies to newcomer families, we believe food is most powerful in community.
“Healthy, satisfying food is a great way to bring neighbors together from all walks of life. Gathering at the table breaks down barriers and helps us see our neighbors as equals in dignity and worth.”
Food Access
As food access disparities continue to grow, our work is more critical than ever. In our community, we share nourishing meals in partnership with local poverty-disrupting nonprofits and community groups. Our goal is long-term community food security where everyone in Nashville has access to nutritious food.
2024 Big Wins for Food Access
Our ProduceRX pilot program succeeded, proving a need to expand our Food as Medicine program. Along with the Matthew Walker Comprehensive Health Center, ProduceRX uses fresh produce, scratch-made meals, and culinary education to combat chronic health disparities. The center already identifies food insecure patients through regular screenings and gives them supplemental, non-perishable items. TNFP supplements this with heart-healthy prepared meals and organic produce, including an innovative line of culturally appropriate meals branded as “heart-healthy soul food.”
We share meals with:
After School Programs • Children & Family Services • Grassroots Organizing • Transitional Housing & Emergency Shelters • Homeless Outreach • Medical & Health Services • Senior Services • Adult Education & Workforce Development
Nourish fundraiser
This year, Nourish achieved record success, raising over $260,000! This was made possible by our sponsors, chefs, donors, and everyone who made this unforgettable night a reality.
This one-of-a-kind dining experience featured a collaborative dinner from Julio Hernandez of Maiz De La Vida, Leina Horii and Brian Lea of Kisser, Tiffany Ortiz and Andy Doubrava of The Catbird Seat, Vivek Surti of Tailor Nashville, Levon and Kim Wallace of FatBelly Pretzel, and Colby Rasavong of Bad Idea. It was a true honor for us to share a connection over a beautiful meal with so many friends, volunteers, community members, and supporters.
