Families Feeding Families
Our annual goal is to raise $2,500,000. This will allow us to feed 50,000 families this year (or 200,000 people) this year.
A special message from the Feeding Nashville founders, Hayley Hubbard and Taylin Lewan:
Hello friends!
Feeding Nashville was started in an effort to help our Nashville neighbors after the 2020 tornado and ongoing health and financial crises from COVID-19, leaving many hungry and restaurants struggling to stay afloat. Our goal was to help put food on the tables of those in need while supporting local chefs and restaurants. Through God's grace, over the course of one year, we were able to provide food for over 70,000 families and individuals in Nashville, including 19,000 front-line nurses at St. Thomas and Vanderbilt. We've accomplished this all while providing stable employment to 9 local chefs and hospitality professionals. It has been such an honor to practically support families, essential workers, students, and individuals experiencing homelessness throughout such a difficult and heartbreaking year.
As the needs in our city have changed throughout the course of the pandemic, we’ve continued to seek out creative and more effective ways to operate. We are currently supporting the programming of ten established community partners - preparing and delivering an average of 1000 meals each week. By donating meals to nonprofits, ministries, and organizations grounded in communities experiencing need, we are ensuring that nutritious food is going to those who most need it; enriching their programming and increasing our community impact.
This upcoming school year we are launching a new program in partnership with Taste Quest and Communities in Schools TN! Our goal is to equip students to combat their own family's food insecurity; increasing familiarity with healthy foods through play-based cooking groups and increasing access to healthy foods through donated meals and fresh produce. This program allows us to address both the immediate need of hunger and long-term piece of education while navigating the need for support families may have more tactfully.
We are just getting started! There is so much to look forward to: so many meals to cook, relationships to build, families to serve, problems to solve, and partnerships to develop. We invite you to join us on this journey of preparing and donating nutritious food to nourish, comfort, and heal our Nashville neighbors.
Thank you SO MUCH for considering donating to Feeding Nashville and supporting our mission. We would love for you to partner with us as a monthly supporter or with a one-time donation. We are so grateful for your support and generosity!
We love you, Nashville!
Hayley, Taylin & the Feeding Nashville Team
