Forever Faithful Food Program
Our Feeding Program Focus
A Forever Faithful Food Program helps provide for the shortfall of food to students and adults in schools, shelters, and households. Each week we provide food to our partner agencies as well. A glimpse of those we feed weekly is Rock Springs Elementary School, Laverne Middle School, Smyrna Middle School, Green House Ministries, Boulevard Terrance, Salvation Army, Nashville Rescue Mission, Doors of Hope, and many more. Thanks to Panera Bread and other partners for making this possible. Our focus is:
- Feeding individuals and families
- Back-to-School Blessing – Supplying communities with supplies & food through outreach.
- HOPE Program-Meals in schools for children in need
- The Bread Basket-Meals are served and delivered to the homeless and shelters and in communities.
- Semi-truckload Community Food Drops
With the help of our amazing volunteers and partners, we've made a major impact on hunger right here in Tennessee and abroad.
- Hundreds of thousands of pounds of nonperishable food distributed
- Thousands of men, women, and children fed
- Public Service Agencies weekly food distribution
- Thousands of hot meals served
Semi-Truck Community Food Drops
As recent as May 2017, the Tennessean reported its’ statistics on poverty and hunger. The report found that 18.9% of Nashvillians live in poverty — a higher rate than Tennessee (17.9%) and the nation (15.9%). According to a recent Feeding America study, an estimated 49 million Americans are food insecure, including more than 1 million Tennesseans.
Back-to-School Community Impact Outreach
It is estimated that 13.3% of Rutherford County residents live in poverty. According to the Tennessee Department of Human Services, 1 in 4 children in Tennessee faces hunger every day. We are asking you to help us bring hope to the poor and disadvantaged. Our organization seeks to reach out to the impoverished community through our illiteracy prevention and food distribution programs and generally to help families in need.
