Join the Fight Against Hunger on Giving Tuesday

Monetary Donations: A Powerful Impact

Second Harvest encourages individuals to make monetary donations by visiting their website at https://netfoodbank.org/ and clicking on the “Giving Tuesday” pop-up link. With just $1, they can provide up to four meals to the over 87,000 people facing hunger in our area. These donations play a crucial role in enabling Second Harvest to continue feeding the hungry. By contributing, you become a part of the solution, helping to ensure that those in need have access to nutritious food.

Donating money allows Second Harvest to secure and distribute a significant amount of food and grocery products to nonprofit agencies. These agencies, in turn, provide essential services to the needy, ill, elderly, children, unhoused, and working poor in the eight-county region of Northeast Tennessee. Your donation directly impacts the lives of these individuals and families.

Moreover, the convenience of making a donation online or by phone makes it easy for everyone to get involved. You can schedule a time to volunteer during the holiday season by calling (423) 279-0430. Volunteering not only helps those in need but also brings a sense of community and fulfillment.

Volunteering: Making a Difference in Person

In addition to monetary donations, volunteering is another powerful way to make a difference. By giving your time, you can directly interact with those facing hunger and provide them with support and assistance. Whether it's helping to sort and distribute food, preparing meals, or assisting at a food drive, every hour you volunteer counts.

Volunteering during the holiday season adds an extra layer of joy and warmth. It shows that the community cares and is willing to come together to help those in need. You'll have the opportunity to meet new people, build connections, and make a lasting impact on the lives of others.

Second Harvest's volunteer program is designed to be flexible and accommodating. You can choose the time and activities that suit your schedule and interests. Whether you have a few hours to spare or can commit to a more extensive volunteer role, your efforts are greatly appreciated.
