The Nashville Food Project

06/05/2026

Community food systems are built with people, but they're sustained by the tools and infrastructure that help people do the work.

We're grateful to the Nashville Predators Foundation for awarding The Nashville Food Project a 2026 Helper Grant in support of our Community Agriculture Network.

Across Nashville, more than 100 growers steward gardens and orchards where fresh, culturally meaningful food is grown and shared. These spaces are cared for by immigrant elders, teachers, faith communities, and neighbors who are cultivating more than food. They're cultivating connection, knowledge, and a sense of belonging. This investment will help provide the tools, equipment, and infrastructure that make that work possible, strengthening community food-growing spaces across our city for years to come.

Thank you, Nashville Predators Foundation, for helping us continue to grow, cook, and share nourishing food.

Yesterday, we had the joy of joining the Rainbow Collective Pride Happy Hour. 🌈

We’re grateful for opportunities to connect with neighbors, celebrate the LGBTQIA+ community, and share in the work of building a Nashville where everyone belongs.

Food is for everyone. Community is for everyone.
Happy Pride Month. 💚

The Nashville Food Project diverts food that would otherwise be discarded at grocery stores and other places, then cooks the food and creates meals for those who need them. https://tinyurl.com/3t3aryx7

This Saturday at the Growing Together Farmers Market 🌱

We've got a great lineup of growers, bakers, coffee, smoothies, flowers, and local food makers joining us this week.

We're especially excited to welcome back Burmese food to the market. If you remember the Burmese Hot Chips from last season, you know why we're excited. They were one of the most talked-about foods at the market, and we can't wait to have them back.

📍 Behind Christ Lutheran Church
299 Haywood Lane
Saturday | 9 AM – 12 PM

See you at the market!

Shared with Us 🌱

Yesterday, we received 200 pounds of dried linguine from Nicoletto's Pasta Co.

Donations like this help our kitchens prepare nourishing meals that are shared with community partners across Nashville.

Thank you for helping ensure good food is used to nourish our neighbors.
