The local nonprofit provides food to people facing food insecurity and works to advance hunger-related solutions within Tennessee. According to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ers.usda.gov\/data-products\/ag-and-food-statistics-charting-the-essentials\/food-security-and-nutrition-assistance\/#:~:text=In%202020%2C%2089.5%20percent%20of,from%2010.5%20percent%20in%202019.\">U.S. Department Of Agriculture<\/a>, in 2020, 10.5% of households were food insecure at some point during the year, including 3.9% (5.1 million) households that had very low food security; this is an epidemic that has been exacerbated since the arrival of the COVID-19 pandemic in the U.S.<\/p>\n<p>During their day of service, Nashville Urban Scientists were responsible for evaluating, sorting and packing food donations from grocery stores, food drives and farms for distribution to families and seniors at risk of food insecurity across middle and west Tennessee. The variety of food items included non-perishables, and frozen and perishable food donations as well, hence the cold sort, which took place in a 40-degree cooler. In total, the group packed 4,222 pounds of food!<\/p>\n<p>Carolyn Carter, Sr. HR Business Partner for the Nashville office, was introduced to volunteering with Second Harvest through an initiative hosted by her church; she later returned to volunteer with friends and family, and eventually proposed the idea of a team outing with her colleagues.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m so grateful for the opportunity to connect my team with a nonprofit that I was passionate about \u2013 and for us to come together to help our neighbors in need,\u201d said Carter. \u201cI believe giving back to the community \u2013 in any way, big or small \u2013 is one of the most impactful things someone can do, and I&#8217;m humbled to have worked alongside my fellow Urban Scientists, for a company that offers paid volunteerism time, to make a difference. We already have plans to return to Second Harvest for another day of service.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Our company\u2019s Nashville-based team is actively engaged in community service, supporting local residents and organizations through various volunteerism and philanthropic initiatives, including a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.urbanscience.com\/jp\/resources\/urban-sciences-nashville-team-holds-diaper-drive-to-help-children-families-in-need\/\">diaper drive<\/a> to assist Nashville Diaper Connection (NDC) on its mission to ensure every baby in Davidson County \u2013 home to Nashville \u2013 has enough diapers to stay clean, dry and healthy.<\/p>\n<p>Interested in learning more about our community focused efforts? <a href=\"https:\/\/www.urbanscience.com\/jp\/resources\/\">\u3053\u3053\u3092\u30af\u30ea\u30c3\u30af<\/a> for additional information.<\/p>\n<p><strong>About Second Harvest Food Bank<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Second Harvest Food Bank of Middle Tennessee opened its doors in 1978 with commitment from several community leaders.
