Together, we will sort and package up food items for donation to the hungry in the Nashville area.
Second Harvest requires all adults to register before participating. To register for the optional volunteer activity, please visit Second Harvest’s IDFA landing page:
Once there, go to Monday, May 1 on the calendar and choose the “Cold Food Sorting—Morning” link; then you will create a username and password to participate in the activity.
