Why it matters: Every bag we seal translates into real meals for neighbors across East Tennessee. Join us to turn a few hours of teamwork into tens of thousands of meals—and a stronger, better-fed community.
Following the packing event, individual clubs will take several boxes of food back to their communities and deliver to their local food pantries.
