Second Harvest Food Bank of Middle Tennessee is a private, tax-exempt nonprofit organization based in Nashville, Tennessee, organized in 1978. It distributes food to neighbors in need through a network of partners, including after-school programs, soup kitchens, senior centers, and other nonprofits. The partners are selected to serve the community in a manner that is effective, ethical, and holistic, with the goal of advancing common food security and reducing waste. In the regional hunger-relief sector, the organization acts as a coordinating hub that channels food relief through its partner network to address food insecurity in Middle Tennessee. In 2026, it expanded its facilities in Nashville to support growth and announced the development of a Grow for Good campus. It has also pursued collaborations with community groups, such as the Veterans of Foreign Wars, to host food-distribution events for veterans and their families.
