Diversity and Inclusion Statement
We believe in food for all.
Second Harvest Food Bank of East Tennessee is proud to be a culturally diverse workplace. The food bank remains committed to assembling a food bank staff and Board of Directors that reflects its community. In serving the 18-county service area we recognize that social inequalities and systemic injustices are among the many factors that can lead to food insecurity. We pledge to provide access to nourishing food and serve all people experiencing food insecurity in East TN regardless of race, class, gender, sexual orientation, or gender identity.
