In this year, with the uncertainty of the economy, some may consider bypassing charitable causes, yet these are the very times our community’s needs are the greatest. So, please invest all you can in the nonprofits that make Middle Tennessee home and the issues they serve.
The ranks of Tennesseans turning to food banks and nutrition programs to get enough to eat continue to grow. With the current economic climate and a coinciding increase in food prices, families are at greater risk of food insecurity, meaning they do not have access to food or live in hunger. The number of Tennessee households on food stamps, an indicator of people struggling to afford a basic diet, grew by 9.5% between January and October 2008.
