At Second Harvest Food Bank of Middle Tennessee, we are proud to celebrate the incredible support of Ole South, whose dedication to fighting hunger has made a tremendous difference in the lives of so many. Over the past 21 years, their partnership has grown into one that has provided lasting benefits to our neighbors in need.
Over 80 Million Meals Provided and Counting
Since their first gift in 2003, Ole South has been a consistent and vital partner, helping us provide over 80 million meals to families across our service area. In addition, nearly 300 volunteer hours have further strengthened our efforts to serve those experiencing food insecurity.
Supporting Key Programs and Initiatives
Ole South’s commitment goes beyond just meal provision. As a steadfast sponsor of our Full for the past seven years, they’ve pledged to continue their support through 2025. These campaigns have collectively helped provide 84 million meals to our neighbors, thanks to Ole South’s contributions and leadership. Their support also extends to children’s feeding programs and even made our Southern branch expansion possible, helping us reach even more communities in need.
Delivering More Food Than Ever
In March 2022, Ole South took their support one step further by purchasing a truck for Second Harvest. This truck has allowed us to deliver over 132 million pounds of food to families and individuals across Middle and West Tennessee, significantly enhancing our distribution efforts and ensuring that more people have access to the food they need.
Looking Ahead to the Future
As we reflect on this incredible 21-year partnership, we are deeply grateful for the impact Ole South has made. Their continued support through volunteer hours, meal provision, and sponsorships is helping us provide not just food for today, but hope for tomorrow. We look forward to building on this partnership in the years to come and seeing the difference we will continue to make together.
Thank you, Ole South, for your unwavering dedication and for standing with us in the fight against hunger!
