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.

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 is because this business isn't designed to be an eat-in restrauant. This is a small business owner who feeds the homless. They do not set prices for their pizza. Instead, they run based off of what customers are willing to donate. So if you cannot pay, then that is okay. They will feed you anyway. The bus is on the side of the highway next to a business that specializes in reclaimed lumber. It's the best hippie spot! NOTE: CASH ONLY

We brought the stuff back to her place and over half of it needed to be thrown out. The chicken they give you has been frozen over and over. The bread is at least 3 weeks old. They gave my elderly client some milk and juice which they were all out dated by 5 weeks. I would hate to know how sick she would of gotten from drinking it. Better yet what if a child would of gotten ahold of it. You people are a bunch of hypocrites and only want people to donate money to your own pockets. The people that work there are very nasty looking as well. And it's not in the best of neighborhoods. I certainly hope my call gets you shut down

I was given all the information I needed to comply with their very efficient process. It was my first visit to this facility. I have know it for years but was under a certain idea that it was just for low income individuals or feral animals. I had an opportunity to see my sweet friend and the director of the facility and she informed me that that is a common misconception. She said they take all folks and most animals. There are a few dog type they don't spay or neuter. They did an exceptionally wonderful job with my asshole cat. She would not wear the cone or a sleeve over the surgery. So, I just had to watch her and she did great. The wound healed great. She is still an asshole but a smidge calmer. I actually was not charged anything due to the fact that I am on Medicare, so it was a great value to me. My plan is to donate to them through their wish list/amazon. Thanks for all you all do for the animals
