Month: December 2023

At Second Harvest, $1 typically provides 3 meals, but on DYD, $1 provides 6 entire meals for our neighbors experiencing food insecurity in East Tennessee. We hope you’ll join us in giving back on this exciting day!

The leaves are changing colors, meals are being shared, and we’ve noticed a renewed sense of togetherness as the year draws to a close. Here at Second Harvest Food Bank of East Tennessee, this time of year also means reflecting on our blessings.

There are a variety of reasons that may keep people from accessing food banks or pantries — uncertainty of where to go, concern over qualifications or paperwork — but it’s clear that the stigma around food-bank usage is one factor preventing people from utilizing the resources they need.
