We share food with partner organizations across the city to support their vital, poverty-disrupting, community-building work. Whether it is a youth program offering an afterschool meal or a refugee support group providing fresh vegetables to newcomer families, we believe food is most powerful when it is shared in community.

Food is Medicine

Last year, we prioritized health equity through two food is medicine initiatives producing 5,145 meals total. In partnership with the Nashville Wellness Collaborative, the Heart of Nashville provided culturally-appropriate, heart-healthy meals for select patients with hypertension at Matthew Walker Comprehensive Health Center. And, with support from the Tennessee Department of Health’s Project Diabetes, we officially launched Produce Rx, offering weekly fresh produce shares to patients at Wayspring. These efforts aim to improve access to healthy food in underserved communities and combat chronic health disparities.
