good news!

not that this changes your lives in any way, but i am happy to report that Second Harvest was awarded a brand new 10' refrigerated truck today! we will use it for our Nashville's Table program which rescues excess prepared and perishable food from donors and redistributes it at no cost to our partner agencies. this means we can expand into our fifth county for this program! thanks to Ford Motor Company and Newman's Own who granted these trucks to eight food banks across the country.

guess who wrote that grant application? gotta love a job with tangible results.

and they didn't even let me take the rest of the day off.
