Nutritious food is a basic human right, yet 1 in 7 Nashvillians do not have access to the food they want and need. The Nashville Food Project is a community food project that brings people together to grow, cook and share nourishing food. Our work connects people to nutritious food and to each other through vibrant urban agriculture projects, made-from-scratch meals cooked in our kitchens, and food shared with local poverty-disrupting partners.

We know that good food alone can’t solve hunger, health disparities, poverty and isolation. That’s why we make sure our nutritious meals and snacks are supporting the vibrant, creative work of Nashville’s community-building and anti-poverty organizations.
In addition to financial contributions, we welcome in-kind donations of food items that can be used as ingredients in nutritious meals. Whether you’d like to share fresh produce from your garden or excess food from licensed caterers, we’d love to connect with you!
Our Community Agriculture Network is more than gardens and orchards. It is part of a growing, citywide effort to expand food access, protect green space, and bring neighbors together through shared work.
