Grow, Cook, & Share Food!

The Nashville Food Project was born from the idea that ALL people should have access to the food they want and need. We know that one in seven people in Nashville lacks access to enough food to sustain a healthy lifestyle. But we also know that more than 40% of all the food in our city goes to waste. Solutions to hunger take much more than simple handouts. Poverty, unemployment, low wages and escalating housing costs all contribute to the challenges that the most vulnerable residents of our city face. We believe food can be a powerful tool to foster health, belonging and justice in our community.
Join us as a volunteer to help turn this belief into action and help us move forward a future of community food security in Nashville. Volunteer opportunities range from working in our community garden spaces to meal prepping at our commercial kitchen sites and so much in between!
NOTE: Expressing Interest on Hands On does not automatically sign you up to volunteer! After expressing interest, our volunteer manager will reach out to you with next steps.
