This #GivingTuesday support the Nutrition Team with a
donation that will support our work to help fight hunger in our own backyard. Over 900,000 Tennesseans are struggling with hunger, your gift allows us to assist children, seniors, and families as they navigate federal nutrition programs like SNAP (Food Stamps), WIC, and child nutrition programs including P-EBT. Every dollar of your donation will be matched by a generous donor up to $5,000. Donate Today! 

In the past few months we have helped families by: 

• Ensuring that over 244,000 children did not miss out on P-EBT Food Assistance 
• Fielding over 1200 calls from parents and guardians to help them put food on the table 
• Helping individuals navigate the SNAP application process 

Your donation will help support the Nutrition Team as we work to: 

•  Ensure that all Tennessee children struggling with hunger have access to food assistance programs during COVID and beyond. We are working closely with partners across the state, DHS and DOE to ensure that the Pandemic EBT programs work quickly and effectively to reach all qualified children
•  Eliminate costly and unnecessary administrative barriers to the SNAP (food stamp) program that will improve access to SNAP for seniors and others that are trying to access SNAP during a pandemic and save time and resources for the state. 
• Ensure that more women have access to WIC. Only 43% of qualified Tennessee women, infants and children have access to the WIC program. In a state with a high child poverty rate and that ranks in the bottom 10 for infant mortality, participation in programs like WIC should be improved.
