As Nashville continues to recover from Winter Storm Fern, the impacts of the storm remain present for many neighbors across the city. While the immediate emergency has passed, the work of care, nourishment, and recovery continues.
On Thursday, February 12, 2026, we will host Love in Action: A Community Open House, an evening gathering that centers connection, gratitude, and the nonprofit partnerships that make this work possible.
The event will take place from 5:30 to 8:00 PM at The Nashville Food Project, located at 5904 California Avenue in Nashville. The gathering is open to the public, and registration is free.
Our mission remains steady. We bring people together to cultivate community and alleviate hunger in our city, before, during, and after moments of disruption. Winter Storm Fern underscored how essential partnership and coordination are to ensuring food continues to reach neighbors when systems are strained.
Love in Action is an opportunity to pause, reconnect, and honor the nonprofit partners who help carry this work forward every day. These partners are on the front lines of supporting neighbors across Nashville, and our Community Meals partnerships allow them to remain focused on their core work while we provide warm, nourishing meals that move through their programs.
During the evening, guests are invited to enjoy light refreshments, spend time connecting with one another, and take part in a hands-on service project creating Valentine’s cards and small treats for our meal partners. A photo booth will be available, and a brief presentation will highlight the powerful, poverty-disrupting work our partners continue to lead across the city.
This gathering is not a fundraiser or a formal program. It is simply a moment to be together, to acknowledge the challenges of the past weeks, and to honor the relationships that sustain our community, especially in times of disruption.
As recovery continues across Nashville, we believe care is something we practice together. We invite neighbors, partners, and community members to join us for an evening rooted in connection, creativity, and gratitude.
