A Better Nashville for All: Feeding Change - April 2024 Edition

April 18, 2024

In a survey of over a thousand Nashvillians, Imagine Nashville found that 84% of people said access to grocery stores was most important to thriving neighborhoods.  

In our April 2024 edition of Feeding Change, The Store’s CEO, Collen Mayer, discusses Imagine Nashville’s findings showing how some of Nashville is thriving while those of our neighbors who are low-income are struggling.  

The newsletter then spotlights The Store’s long-time volunteer, Tony.  The video ends by celebrating Volunteer Appreciation Month with an invitation to volunteer, as well as to sponsor a family’s groceries to help us double our difference.
