About TNKids Nutrition
TNKids Nutrition began with a conversation the Wednesday before Thanksgiving in 2009, when a group of local men realized hunger doesn’t end after the holidays. By August 2010, they had officially formed a nonprofit dedicated to feeding children year-round. In 2024 alone, we provided over 500,000 meals and snacks to children at risk of hunger in seven counties across Middle Tennessee. Learn more at TNKids.org.
