    What an experience! I had the pleasure of volunteering here with 79 of my closest friends…read more(coworkers) a few months back for a volunteer event at work, and it was truly such an amazing day. First off, the location is great, as when you arrive there is a huge parking lot. No worries about if you'll find a spot. The second you walk in, they were so very organized. You checked in with an individual then waiting for orientation. Once all 80 of us were caffeinated and ready to go, we received an orientation that explained what Second Harvest was, how we were about to make a difference, and what we would be doing. They are nothing short than a Nashville miracle - thank you for all you do! I ended up sorting dry goods that day, which was perfect as the other option was being inside the freezer. They had at least 10 people from the organization on the floor assisting us with questions of where to put this or that, moving carts and barrels as we filled them up. It was a 3 or 4 hour volunteer shift, but it flew by! We ended up sorting 19,615 pounds of dry goods. That's not even counting whatever my coworkers in the freezer accomplished that day. It felt so great knowing just how our hard work would benefit those who need assistance. I haven't been back for another volunteer day on my own yet, but I will be. Please check out this wonderful place and spend a day with Second Harvest. You will not regret it!

    Horrible place to work. They treat their workers like robots (slaves) expecting each person to PICK…read more20,000+ pounds a day. Their starting pay is $16, which is not enough for the work being done. There is always a rotten smell throughout the building, black dust on the products and in the air, the racks holding the merchandise are not all securely nailed into the floor, most of the workers barely use the equipment properly, and management has terrible communication skills. The people that work in the office have no problem yelling out how much money the company makes in a year (MILLIONS!!!), but fail to fight for better pay for the people in the warehouse doing the real work. There is drama of some sort every other day. The food they cook is honestly not all that... they could use some seasons or better quality food, everything taste like a cardboard box. There's not enough workers for the amount of work being done, people callout and don't show up do the time. Management has their favorites they let get away with anything! You would think since this place is a food bank it would be a nice job. Nope! Not for the warehouse workers. Most of the workers there are too slow to realize their own worth and what they're being handed. Don't work here unless you absolutely have no care for your life, need a job and can't find anything else, love drama and chaos, want to watch rich people walk pass you as you bust a sweat working for $16 an hour. Truly not worth it, don't waste your time and energy!

    I love everything TNFP stands for…read more I volunteer there periodically and I love it. Easy sign up, the staff is great, and love meeting new people -- while helping out the community. I appreciate how the non-profit makes sure that the volunteers are appreciated. I also participate in the CSA and love the variety of veggies we get! The options are great -- especially being Asian, I am happy to receive veggies for my native cuisine.

    My husband and I recently started volunteering with The Nashville Food Project as a way to do some…read morevolunteer work together and I am so happy that we did! First of all it was super easy to sign up, just search online and fill out your info, pick a day and find a volunteer opportunity! It's that simple! Today we did our second time volunteering with the meal prep group and it was just as fun and fulfilling as the first time! Everyone who takes their time to run The Nashville Food Project are so nice and appreciative. They need so much help y'all! We cut veggies and fruit, prep meals, do some light cleaning, and enjoy the company and stories of others that are volunteering. It's amazing to give back to our community and be an active part in making it a better place! There are so many opportunities to volunteer with them and so many tasks to choose from. It's been eye opening to learn about our community and the food security issues many face in our own neighborhoods. Food insecurity is such a problem in our country faced by so many, young, old, families, and even those who work experience food insecurity. The Nashville Food Project is doing their best to make sure that those in our community have the food they need while educating those who volunteer. So if your looking for a great way to give back to your community and a wonderful way to fill some available time in your day then I highly recommend you sign up or stop by and see what it's all about!!

    This community area food bank is needs-based that depends on strict parameters established by…read moreUnited Way. Even if you do not think you qualify, it's always good to check. You can check by calling 211 (United Way), or direct at 423.265.8000. They do a good job in providing basics, but you don't get to choose and you get what you get. Our voucher included lots of canned vegetables (some smashed beyond usable), a gallon of 1% milk (expires 4.11.20), a 10 pound bag of potatoes, a small jar of Jif peanut butter and a large bag of yellow onions, plus some odd items like jarred marinated artichokes and a huge cottage cheese that expired 4.8.20. We picked up this food on 4.9.20, so I highly caution you to check your expiration dates before you eat anything. I do feel as though I shouldn't complain at all because United Way is providing this food free of any cost. That being said, it's far from what I would buy for my family had they put the money directly in my hands. We did receive some strange items, such as a "discontinued" and expired-a-month-ago Wal-Mart item of 'blue fondant' and a set of decorating tips (without bags) :P. Just for the heck of it, I opened the fondant and it was harder than play-doh. I looked further and tossed 90% of expired food. :/ I would like to see them provide some fresh items with the canned foods and less snack-type 'Little Debbie' items. I get the Little Debbie though, as their manufacturing plant is located here in Tennessee. Even those items were expired a month ago. Some off-name granola bars expired this past January. I really was disappointed not to receive fresh fruits and vegetables. Oranges, lettuce, celery and garlic all would have been more appreciated than a sugary children's cereal and snacks. Maybe even a few fruit snack packs that don't require refrigeration and a loaf of bread would have been better choices than some that they picked. All the workers and volunteers wore masks and gloves and practiced social distancing amid our current coronavirus status and they also were very polite and respectful. They even loaded the food into my vehicle. But they do not allow anyone to come inside and I glimpsed a refrigerator full of fresh produce and stacks of bread. You do know you can freeze bread, right?
