Second Harvest Food Bank of Middle TN opened its doors in 1978 with commitment from several community leaders and people who wished to help provide food for hungry people in Middle Tennessee. Second Harvest was designed to collect food that would otherwise be wasted, inspect and sort this food then distribute to soup kitchens, pantries, and shelters serving the hungry. During the first year, total distributions of 160,000 pounds of food were delivered to 75 member agencies. During the 2016/2017 fiscal year, Second Harvest distributed more than 32 million pounds of food to more than 490 partner agencies providing more than 26 million meals of food to hungry people throughout the 46-county service area.
