The Nueva Vida Food Project, part of the Matthew 25 movement of the PCUSA, is a collaborative ministry of Glencliff Presbyterian Church, Iglesia Presbiteriana Nueva Vida, the Presbytery of Middle Tennessee, Nourish Food Bank in Murfreesboro, and Second Harvest Food Bank. The Food Project launched in December 2020 when a donated truckload of food was distributed to families within minutes. The need was so overwhelmingly evident that the Food Project was formed with only 2 people on staff. Since then, the Food Project’s staff and impact have grown dramatically! Currently, an estimated 500 families receive assistance from the Food Project each month, with each family eligible to receive a cart of food designed to feed a family of 4-5 for an entire week.

Westminster volunteers at Nueva Vida on the third Saturday of each month. We are currently looking for August volunteers. Please click here if you would like to join us.
