At The Nashville Food Project, we believe understanding the full picture of our work matters. How food moves through our city, how partnerships support neighbors, and how daily actions connect to long-term change are all part of the story we’re continually sharing.
On Thursday, February 19, 2026, we invite the community to join us for First Taste: An Introduction to The Nashville Food Project, from 12:00 to 1:00 PM at our headquarters at 5904 California Avenue in Nashville.
First Taste is designed for anyone interested in learning more about our work, whether you’re new to The Nashville Food Project, a long-time volunteer, a program participant, or simply curious about how we bring people together to cultivate community and alleviate hunger across Nashville.
During this hour-long session, we’ll offer a short presentation introducing our mission, vision, and core areas of work, followed by plenty of time for questions and conversation. Light refreshments will be provided, and the space is intended to be welcoming, informative, and relational.
At The Nashville Food Project, transparency and connection are central to how we operate. First Taste offers a chance to step back, ask questions, and better understand how our kitchens, gardens, food recovery, and partnerships work together each day to support neighbors across the city.
Our headquarters is accessible, with a ramp located on the west side of the building and all-gender, accessible restrooms available for visitor use. First Taste sessions are currently facilitated in English. If you require accommodations to participate, please let us know in the comment section when you RSVP so arrangements can be made.
We’re glad to offer this space for learning and connection, and we look forward to welcoming you.
