• Nourish exists to feed families, fuel hope, and nourish our communities through compassionate service, supportive programs, and partnerships that create a network of care.

The Nourish Food Bank has been working to end hunger and build up a community response to food insecurity for over 40 years. Our first site was established as The Smyrna-La Vergne Food Bank before becoming Nourish Food Bank and now is headquartered in Murfreesboro with additional locations in Smyrna and Nashville. Nourish is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit.


We provide an average of 1,000,000 meals worth of food to families in economic and food crisis across our service communities, serving approximately 3,000 people a month. Each client receives a grocery cart full of food consisting of perishable and non-perishable items as well as personal care necessities.
