OUR MISSION

TO FEED HUNGRY PEOPLE AND WORK TO SOLVE

HUNGER ISSUES IN OUR COMMUNITY

Dear Friend

Children across Middle and West Tennessee

are beginning a new year of learning As our communityrsquos educators work to fill studentsrsquo minds with knowledge kids need your help to bolster their healthy development

I often remember the story of a colleague who visited a childcare center and asked the kids whether theyrsquod had breakfast Only half raised their hands One boy said

ldquoIt wasnrsquot my turnrdquo This is heartbreaking mdash and unacceptable

Our future depends on these children and their hunger must end before learning can begin Thatrsquos why Irsquom so glad to see the growth yoursquove made

possible in Second Harvestrsquos child feeding programs Kids Cafes BackPacks and school pantries are helping students succeed

Many Tennessee school districts are strapped so wersquore getting more requests than ever for these programs We canrsquot progress as a community if our children arenrsquot getting proper nutrition which is why Irsquom so grateful friends like you have stepped up to help feed them

September is Hunger Action Month mdash Feeding Americarsquos yearly nationwide effort to raise awareness about the issue of hunger Wersquore counting on our community to volunteer host food drives and support our efforts

You Give Kids the Fuel They Need to Thrive

ldquoThe BackPack food is something thatrsquos always consistent for themrdquo Catherine said ldquoFor children who are moving frequently knowing they have the security of the food bag every Friday helps a great deal with feeling more settled and lessens the anxiety they might experiencerdquo

As you can see your gifts are improving the lives of our communityrsquos most vulnerable children Thank you for making this important work possible

Kids Have Food on the Weekends Because of You

The No 1 Easiest Way to Do Your Part Monthly Giving Makes a Difference

BENITA AND KENENA ARE ALL SMILES IN FRONT OF THEIR NEW HOME YOU SUPPORTED KENENA WITH NOURISHING FOOD DURING A DIFFICULT PERIOD OF HOMELESSNESS

For children without a stable home your generosity makes

a significant difference Catherine Knowles sees your gifts in action firsthand Shersquos the homeless education program coordinator at Metro Nashville Public Schools

Catherinersquos office reaches about 3400 kids with clothing referrals and Second Harvestrsquos BackPack Program It provides bags of kid-friendly food designed

to last through the weekend when students canrsquot access school meals

For kids who are often staying with family members or friends the BackPack Program lets them maintain some independence

ldquoThe kids are highly motivated and very aware of wanting to provide for themselves and not be a burden on anyone elserdquo Catherine said

With help from friends like you Second Harvest delivers food every week and student volunteers sort and package it for delivery to Nashville area schools

Beyond keeping kids fed the BackPack Program helps struggling families save money for other expenses like rent mdash many live in weekly rental motels

BackPacks also build trust between parents and administrators improve school attendance and provide stability for children in uncertain situations

The security of the food bag every Friday helps a great deal

Monthly donors like Barbara Sullivan arenrsquot just kindhearted and devoted ndash theyrsquore also practical thinkers Autopay is easiest for her and it reduces Second Harvestrsquos overhead meaning more resources for hungry people And in the end thatrsquos what itrsquos all about

ldquoEvery time it pops up on my statement Irsquom reminded how much good work is going on thererdquo Barbara said ldquoThat monthly contribution reminds me that my neighbors are hungry and I am doing a tiny bit to helprdquo

Barbara has been a Second Helpings donor since 2014 and she recently upgraded her monthly gift amount Many of our monthly donors are upgrading to $40 a month in honor of our 40th anniversary At that rate in one year yoursquod provide almost 2000 meals to people in need

News 2 WKRN first took up the fight against hunger

more than 35 years ago Anne Holt news anchor at the time remembers learning about our efforts and joining the cause as spokesperson for the stationrsquos Food 2 Families program

Food 2 Families worked to raise awareness about local hunger and encourage the community to get involved by donating food Today the program has expanded to local schools teaching children about the scope of hunger while making a difference Each fall dozens of schools participate in a friendly competition to collect the most donated food

ldquoIt gave us a priceless interaction with our communitieshellipthe ability to educate our children and educate a whole new generation about hungerrdquo Anne said

Championing hunger relief was natural for Anne She grew up as one of 13 children on a farm Because her family grew what they ate they understood the true value of fresh healthy food

Although shersquos never experienced hunger personally Anne says her gratitude for her good fortune motivates her to ensure others have access to the food they need She was honored to learn Second Harvest dedicated one of our sorting rooms to her work mdash the very room where food collected through Food 2 Families is sorted

Anne remembers that in the early days Second Harvest wasnrsquot much more than a closet handing out emergency food Shersquos thrilled to see how our programs and services have expanded over the years and she credits the growth to our communityrsquos caring heart

ldquoHunger is not something that one person or one organization can solve on their own mdash we have to work togetherrdquo she says ldquoWe are very fortunate to live in a giving communityrdquo

Our sincere thanks go out to Anne News 2 and advocates across Middle and West Tennessee who bring awareness to our cause and make hunger relief possible You change lives every day

6 Feeding Hope

Many of our donors like to leave us a gift in their wills and wersquore always so grateful to be part of their legacy But few realize therersquos a tax benefit by donating retirement income now If yoursquore 70frac12 and older you can give to Second Harvest directly from your IRA and avoid paying the tax thatrsquos normally due

ldquoWe believe in the work of Second Harvest and decided we wanted to give a larger donation than we had in the pastrdquo said Carol VanKirk ldquoIn talking with our financial advisor we were told that giving

the Required Minimum Distribution from our IRA would be a smart decision for everyonerdquo

ldquoBy sending the money directly from our investment account to Second Harvest we avoided paying any tax because it was not considered income Second Harvest received the full monetary amount with no tax deducted ndash a win-winrdquo

To learn more about setting up a Charitable IRA Distribution to Second Harvest call Marian Eidson at (615) 627-1564

Anne Holt and News 2 Champion the Fight Against Hunger

Are you 7012 or olderTurn that taxed distribution into a tax-free donation

ANNE HOLT A SECOND HARVEST ADVOCATE FOR ALMOST 35 YEARS

A School Pantryrsquos Shelves are Full Thanks to Your Support

We had children sneaking food from the

cafeteria because they were so hungryrdquo said Rebecca Hulse family involvement specialist at Tusculum Elementary School in Nashville ldquoWe realized on weekends they werenrsquot getting food unless we were sending it homerdquo

Rebecca runs the school pantry at Tusculum in partnership with Second Harvest and with help from Mary Guidry the schoolrsquos family resources director Every Tuesday a Second Harvest truck delivers fresh food to the school for Rebecca to share with about 45 students

The pantry bags include meat fruits vegetables grains and other healthy items Rebecca says she appreciates being able to fill empty tables as well as build relationships among faculty students and their families

Many of the families Rebecca serves relocated to the Nashville area as refugees Tusculum students hail from more than 30 different countries With the help of interpreters Rebecca connects families with school supplies clothing and medical assistance as well as groceries

Several kids are enrolled in a program called Students with Interrupted Formal

Educations Rebecca says having regular access to healthy food has brought stability to these childrenrsquos lives Good nutrition also improves behavior academic performance and more

Rebecca said the school pantry is possible because of your generosity and shersquos so grateful you choose to give

ldquoYoursquove allowed us to feed more children and meet the needs of more familiesrdquo she said ldquoYoursquore making such a difference in their livesrdquo

Having enough to eat seems so simple but it is essential mdash especially for growing children We appreciate your partnership

FIFTH GRADERS ENJOY A WARM BALANCED AFTERSCHOOL MEAL AT THE WEST NASHVILLE DREAM CENTER

After school each weekday students can sit down to a full healthy

meal at the West Nashville Dream Center Darah Kerpka runs the Kids Cafe program at the center supported by a partnership between Preston-Taylor Ministries and Second Harvest She said itrsquos been wonderful to see how good nutrition affects kidsrsquo well-being

ldquoA lot of times especially in the classroom I notice such a behavior difference when a child has eaten versus when they havenrsquotrdquo she said

The West Nashville Dream Center provides tutoring counseling exercise with a personal trainer cooking classes and one-on-one time with mentors who help the children set goals and identify dreams for the future Having a balanced meal means kids can concentrate on the centerrsquos other important programs

Before partnering with Second Harvest and gaining access to the resources you help provide Darah said the center could only give the kids a small snack She knows some children would go to bed hungry if it werenrsquot for the evening meal the Center now offers It gives her peace of mind to be able to feed the kids

ldquoItrsquos such a joy to be able to provide a mealrdquo Darah said

Many of the kids she serves are independent and look after themselves and their siblings while their parents are

at work Your gifts give them the fuel they need to focus do well in school and learn how to break the cycle of poverty in the future

We hope you understand just how important your gifts are to your communityrsquos children and their caregivers There are parents grandparents and guardians across Middle and West Tennessee who struggle to fill their familyrsquos tables You help so much Thank you

Itrsquos such a joy to be able to

provide a meal

News 2 WKRN first took up the fight against hunger

more than 35 years ago Anne Holt news anchor at the time remembers learning about our efforts and joining the cause as spokesperson for the stationrsquos Food 2 Families program

Food 2 Families worked to raise awareness about local hunger and encourage the community to get involved by donating food Today the program has expanded to local schools teaching children about the scope of hunger while making a difference Each fall dozens of schools participate in a friendly competition to collect the most donated food

ldquoIt gave us a priceless interaction with our communitieshellipthe ability to educate our children and educate a whole new generation about hungerrdquo Anne said

Championing hunger relief was natural for Anne She grew up as one of 13 children on a farm Because her family grew what they ate they understood the true value of fresh healthy food

Although shersquos never experienced hunger personally Anne says her gratitude for her good fortune motivates her to ensure others have access to the food they need She was honored to learn Second Harvest dedicated one of our sorting rooms to her work mdash the very room where food collected through Food 2 Families is sorted

Anne remembers that in the early days Second Harvest wasnrsquot much more than a closet handing out emergency food Shersquos thrilled to see how our programs and services have expanded over the years and she credits the growth to our communityrsquos caring heart

ldquoHunger is not something that one person or one organization can solve on their own mdash we have to work togetherrdquo she says ldquoWe are very fortunate to live in a giving communityrdquo

Our sincere thanks go out to Anne News 2 and advocates across Middle and West Tennessee who bring awareness to our cause and make hunger relief possible You change lives every day

Kids Have Food on the Weekends Because of You

The No 1 Easiest Way to Do Your Part Monthly Giving Makes a Difference

BENITA AND KENENA ARE ALL SMILES IN FRONT OF THEIR NEW HOME YOU SUPPORTED KENENA WITH NOURISHING FOOD DURING A DIFFICULT PERIOD OF HOMELESSNESS

For children without a stable home your generosity makes

a significant difference Catherine Knowles sees your gifts in action firsthand Shersquos the homeless education program coordinator at Metro Nashville Public Schools

Catherinersquos office reaches about 3400 kids with clothing referrals and Second Harvestrsquos BackPack Program It provides bags of kid-friendly food designed

to last through the weekend when students canrsquot access school meals

For kids who are often staying with family members or friends the BackPack Program lets them maintain some independence

ldquoThe kids are highly motivated and very aware of wanting to provide for themselves and not be a burden on anyone elserdquo Catherine said

With help from friends like you Second Harvest delivers food every week and student volunteers sort and package it for delivery to Nashville area schools

Beyond keeping kids fed the BackPack Program helps struggling families save money for other expenses like rent mdash many live in weekly rental motels

BackPacks also build trust between parents and administrators improve school attendance and provide stability for children in uncertain situations

The security of the food bag every Friday helps a great deal

Monthly donors like Barbara Sullivan arenrsquot just kindhearted and devoted ndash theyrsquore also practical thinkers Autopay is easiest for her and it reduces Second Harvestrsquos overhead meaning more resources for hungry people And in the end thatrsquos what itrsquos all about

ldquoEvery time it pops up on my statement Irsquom reminded how much good work is going on thererdquo Barbara said ldquoThat monthly contribution reminds me that my neighbors are hungry and I am doing a tiny bit to helprdquo

Barbara has been a Second Helpings donor since 2014 and she recently upgraded her monthly gift amount Many of our monthly donors are upgrading to $40 a month in honor of our 40th anniversary At that rate in one year yoursquod provide almost 2000 meals to people in need

News 2 WKRN first took up the fight against hunger

more than 35 years ago Anne Holt news anchor at the time remembers learning about our efforts and joining the cause as spokesperson for the stationrsquos Food 2 Families program

Food 2 Families worked to raise awareness about local hunger and encourage the community to get involved by donating food Today the program has expanded to local schools teaching children about the scope of hunger while making a difference Each fall dozens of schools participate in a friendly competition to collect the most donated food

ldquoIt gave us a priceless interaction with our communitieshellipthe ability to educate our children and educate a whole new generation about hungerrdquo Anne said

Championing hunger relief was natural for Anne She grew up as one of 13 children on a farm Because her family grew what they ate they understood the true value of fresh healthy food

Although shersquos never experienced hunger personally Anne says her gratitude for her good fortune motivates her to ensure others have access to the food they need She was honored to learn Second Harvest dedicated one of our sorting rooms to her work mdash the very room where food collected through Food 2 Families is sorted

Anne remembers that in the early days Second Harvest wasnrsquot much more than a closet handing out emergency food Shersquos thrilled to see how our programs and services have expanded over the years and she credits the growth to our communityrsquos caring heart

ldquoHunger is not something that one person or one organization can solve on their own mdash we have to work togetherrdquo she says ldquoWe are very fortunate to live in a giving communityrdquo

Our sincere thanks go out to Anne News 2 and advocates across Middle and West Tennessee who bring awareness to our cause and make hunger relief possible You change lives every day

6 Feeding Hope

Many of our donors like to leave us a gift in their wills and wersquore always so grateful to be part of their legacy But few realize therersquos a tax benefit by donating retirement income now If yoursquore 70frac12 and older you can give to Second Harvest directly from your IRA and avoid paying the tax thatrsquos normally due

ldquoWe believe in the work of Second Harvest and decided we wanted to give a larger donation than we had in the pastrdquo said Carol VanKirk ldquoIn talking with our financial advisor we were told that giving

the Required Minimum Distribution from our IRA would be a smart decision for everyonerdquo

ldquoBy sending the money directly from our investment account to Second Harvest we avoided paying any tax because it was not considered income Second Harvest received the full monetary amount with no tax deducted ndash a win-winrdquo

To learn more about setting up a Charitable IRA Distribution to Second Harvest call Marian Eidson at (615) 627-1564

Rebecca runs the school pantry at Tusculum in partnership with Second Harvest and with help from Mary Guidry the schoolrsquos family resources director Every Tuesday a Second Harvest truck delivers fresh food to the school for Rebecca to share with about 45 students

The pantry bags include meat fruits vegetables grains and other healthy items Rebecca says she appreciates being able to fill empty tables as well as build relationships among faculty students and their families

Many of the families Rebecca serves relocated to the Nashville area as refugees Tusculum students hail from more than 30 different countries With the help of interpreters Rebecca connects families with school supplies clothing and medical assistance as well as groceries

Several kids are enrolled in a program called Students with Interrupted Formal

Educations Rebecca says having regular access to healthy food has brought stability to these childrenrsquos lives Good nutrition also improves behavior academic performance and more

Rebecca said the school pantry is possible because of your generosity and shersquos so grateful you choose to give

FIFTH GRADERS ENJOY A WARM BALANCED AFTERSCHOOL MEAL AT THE WEST NASHVILLE DREAM CENTER

After school each weekday students can sit down to a full healthy

meal at the West Nashville Dream Center Darah Kerpka runs the Kids Cafe program at the center supported by a partnership between Preston-Taylor Ministries and Second Harvest She said itrsquos been wonderful to see how good nutrition affects kidsrsquo well-being

ldquoA lot of times especially in the classroom I notice such a behavior difference when a child has eaten versus when they havenrsquotrdquo she said

The West Nashville Dream Center provides tutoring counseling exercise with a personal trainer cooking classes and one-on-one time with mentors who help the children set goals and identify dreams for the future Having a balanced meal means kids can concentrate on the centerrsquos other important programs

Before partnering with Second Harvest and gaining access to the resources you help provide Darah said the center could only give the kids a small snack She knows some children would go to bed hungry if it werenrsquot for the evening meal the Center now offers It gives her peace of mind to be able to feed the kids

ldquoItrsquos such a joy to be able to provide a mealrdquo Darah said

Many of the kids she serves are independent and look after themselves and their siblings while their parents are

at work Your gifts give them the fuel they need to focus do well in school and learn how to break the cycle of poverty in the future

We hope you understand just how important your gifts are to your communityrsquos children and their caregivers There are parents grandparents and guardians across Middle and West Tennessee who struggle to fill their familyrsquos tables You help so much Thank you

Itrsquos such a joy to be able to

provide a meal

Our sincere thanks go out to Anne News 2 and advocates across Middle and West Tennessee who bring awareness to our cause and make hunger relief possible You change lives every day

6 Feeding Hope

Many of our donors like to leave us a gift in their wills and wersquore always so grateful to be part of their legacy But few realize therersquos a tax benefit by donating retirement income now If yoursquore 70frac12 and older you can give to Second Harvest directly from your IRA and avoid paying the tax thatrsquos normally due

ldquoWe believe in the work of Second Harvest and decided we wanted to give a larger donation than we had in the pastrdquo said Carol VanKirk ldquoIn talking with our financial advisor we were told that giving

the Required Minimum Distribution from our IRA would be a smart decision for everyonerdquo

ldquoBy sending the money directly from our investment account to Second Harvest we avoided paying any tax because it was not considered income Second Harvest received the full monetary amount with no tax deducted ndash a win-winrdquo

To learn more about setting up a Charitable IRA Distribution to Second Harvest call Marian Eidson at (615) 627-1564

meal at the West Nashville Dream Center Darah Kerpka runs the Kids Cafe program at the center supported by a partnership between Preston-Taylor Ministries and Second Harvest She said itrsquos been wonderful to see how good nutrition affects kidsrsquo well-being

ldquoA lot of times especially in the classroom I notice such a behavior difference when a child has eaten versus when they havenrsquotrdquo she said

The West Nashville Dream Center provides tutoring counseling exercise with a personal trainer cooking classes and one-on-one time with mentors who help the children set goals and identify dreams for the future Having a balanced meal means kids can concentrate on the centerrsquos other important programs

Before partnering with Second Harvest and gaining access to the resources you help provide Darah said the center could only give the kids a small snack She knows some children would go to bed hungry if it werenrsquot for the evening meal the Center now offers It gives her peace of mind to be able to feed the kids

ldquoItrsquos such a joy to be able to provide a mealrdquo Darah said

Many of the kids she serves are independent and look after themselves and their siblings while their parents are

at work Your gifts give them the fuel they need to focus do well in school and learn how to break the cycle of poverty in the future

We hope you understand just how important your gifts are to your communityrsquos children and their caregivers There are parents grandparents and guardians across Middle and West Tennessee who struggle to fill their familyrsquos tables You help so much Thank you

Itrsquos such a joy to be able to

provide a meal
