This fall, Second Harvest Food Bank of Middle Tennessee is excited to launch our annual Power of ONE campaign—a call to action that invites you to make a real difference in the fight against hunger. From now through September, we’re asking everyone in our community to take just one action to help the one in eight Tennesseans who are food insecure. 

What is the Power of ONE? 

The Power of ONE is all about the collective impact we can achieve when each of us takes just one simple action. Whether it’s donating money, food, or time, every single effort contributes to a larger movement to end hunger in our community. When we come together, that’s when we see real progress. That’s the Power of ONE. 

How You Can Get Involved 

There are several ways you can participate in the Power of ONE campaign: 

• Sign up for our emails to stay informed about how you can help end hunger in Middle Tennessee. 

• Donate funds to support our ongoing efforts to provide meals to those in need. 

• Donate non-perishable food items by sorting through your pantry or picking up our most needed items on your next grocery run. 

• Volunteer your time—and bring a friend with you! When you volunteer during September, you’ll be entered into a drawing to win a dinner for two at Margot Cafe & Bar. 

Just ONE action can make a BIG impact. Imagine the difference we can make together when we each contribute to this cause. 

Why Your Participation Matters 

Hunger is a reality for too many of our neighbors, with over 409,990 individuals in our 46-county service area facing food insecurity. It’s not just a statistic—it’s children, families, and seniors in our community who struggle every day to get enough to eat. By joining the Power of ONE, you can help restore hope, relieve stress for families, and move us closer to our goal of a hunger-free Tennessee. 

Spread the Word 

Your voice can amplify the message. Share your involvement on social media using the hashtag #ThePowerofONE and tag @2HarvestMidTN. Encourage your friends and followers to take action, too, whether it’s by donating, volunteering, or spreading awareness.
