What We Do
The Tennessee Food Bank Association (TFBA) is a coalition of 5 regional Feeding America food banks working together to address hunger in Tennessee. The TFBA enables food banks to better provide a healthy and adequate food supply for people in need by:
Providing a mechanism for communication among member food banks
Assisting member food banks in the acquisition of food
Informing member food banks about legislation that impacts on hunger programs and suggesting appropriate action
Developing public awareness about hunger issues and the role of food banks in combating hunger
Seeking sources of state and federal funding, food, and resources to address food insecurity
Building alliances and other relationships that advance the mission of the TFBA and its affiliated food banks
