About This Organization

The Nashville Food Project brings people together to grow, cook and share nourishing food, with the goals of cultivating community and alleviating hunger in our city. We believe that good food is a human right, not a privilege for only those who can afford it. Each week, we prepare and share thousands of nutritious, delicious meals and snacks with nonprofit partners across our city. Meals incorporate organic produce harvested from our urban gardens along with donated and recovered food, feeding our most vulnerable neighbors with the abundance of our community. Our partnership model expands the impact of our nourishing meals as they are shared alongside other poverty-disrupting programming. In our gardens, we empower our city’s most vulnerable residents to grow their own food. We also expand access and opportunity to people with agrarian backgrounds, originally from Burma and Bhutan, to earn supplemental income through the sale of their produce. In all of our programs, we utilize food as a tool to cultivate community by bringing people out of isolation and into shared space.

    ABOUT THE GUIDE

    The James Beard Foundation, Food Tank, and Valrhona, along with a prestigious advisory group of food system experts, developed the “Good Food Org Guide.”

    This definitive Guide highlights nonprofit organizations that are doing exemplary work in the United States in the areas of food and agriculture, nutrition and health, hunger and obesity, and food justice.

    Only nonprofit, scholarly, and municipal initiatives have been selected in order to spotlight efforts that are focused on community building and engagement, advocacy, and service.
