Too many families are waiting

The $5 Million Campaign to Build a New Store

Thousands of families in Middle Tennessee are facing hunger, and we’re out of space to help them. We are launching a $5 millon expansion campaign to build a new Store at Centennial — three  times the size of our current location.  With your investment, we can ensure no neighbor is left behind.
Hunger Is Growing in Middle Tennessee

Too Many Neighbors Are Facing Hunger Alone

In Middle Tennessee, 1 in 7 households worry about their next meal

Families are being forced to choose between food and rent. Veterans, seniors, and children are quietly going hungry. And food insecurity has reached a 10-year high.

At The Store, we serve with dignity, offering healthy groceries in a welcoming environment where people feel seen, respected, and supported. But we’ve hit our limit.

1,800+ Families Are Still Waiting

They’re Waiting, and We Can’t Let Them Wait Any Longer

We're at capacity with 1,800 families already on our waitlist

Every day, we receive calls, emails, and visits from families asking if we can help.

But right now, we’re at capacity. Without room to grow, we’re turning away neighbors who urgently need food and hope.

If we don’t act now, that list will grow, and the hurt and hopelessness will deepen.
