Interested in helping The Nashville Food Project leverage food that is already in our community to meet the needs of our neighbors? Join us for a “Best Use” prep session! We receive weekly bulk donations from incredible partners such as Costco and Bells Bend Farms. Our “Best Use” prep sessions focus on turning those bulk donations into prepared, usable ingredients to be incorporated into our meals! Over 40% of food in the U.S. goes to waste and our food recovery efforts are a form of resistance to the myth that hunger is a scarcity issue! “Best Use” group prep sessions are a wonderful way to build team comradery, perfect your dicing skills, and support the work of community food security simultaneously!   

"Best Use" Prep sessions take place in our commercial kitchen setting, supported by our Meals team. Sample tasks may include: chopping and assembling veggie and fruit salads from donated produce, washing, coring, and dicing fresh harvests of tomatoes to be incorporated into sauces for the week’s coming meals, sorting recovered hauls to identify usable ingredients and separating compostable items to be broken down in our compost systems to act as inputs for our garden spaces, scrubbing, peeling and chopping farm-fresh potatoes to serve as a roasted root vegetable side for the week’s mobile meals and many other similar roles!

Transportation is a huge need for our community of Adults with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities. Many of our residents rely on public transport which can be very overwhelming or unsafe for them when traveling alone or at night, and utilizing a ride sharing service can get very expensive. Our Place Nashville is in search of volunteers who are willing to be available to assist with short rides for our friends. This could include a ride to one of our community events, to work, or just to the store. 

When you sign up and are approved as a transportation assistant, you will be notified when a particular resident has a particular transportation need. If you are able to help with that need, you can let us know and we will communicate with you and the resident to confirm the scheduling. During this ride, you may get to know one of our residents and provide encouragement and support for them during their day. 

Volunteers must have valid drivers license and a clean driving history, as well as access to a vehicle. 

Come deliver meals and have the best lunch date ever!
