Need food? Find resources in your neighborhood
Second Harvest Food Bank of Middle Tennessee partners with nonprofit and faith-based organizations that regularly provide food to their communities across our 46-county service area. Through partnership, agencies can access dry goods, fresh produce, and refrigerated and frozen products to serve neighbors through food pantries, emergency shelters, congregate meal programs, and soup kitchens. We currently work with more than 400 Partner Agencies.
At this time, we have no openings for new Partner Agencies.
We will revisit our capacity to welcome additional partners after the move to our larger facility in Spring 2028. When we reopen the application process, we anticipate prioritizing organizations who serve underserved rural communities with limited access to food resources.
Eligible programs include food pantries, emergency shelters, congregate meal programs and soup kitchens in rural or underserved areas. Programs that are not eligible include residential group homes, rooming houses, and any programs operating out of single-family residential housing. If your organization doesn’t currently meet these criteria or isn’t located in an underserved area, there are still many ways to make a difference—by volunteering, hosting a food drive, or collaborating with an existing Partner Agency in your community. You can also use our Find Food tool to refer people you work with to find food assistance nearby.
