Hunger Relief

Hunger Relief Support

In response to the growing need for food assistance and the gap in SNAP benefits, the Community Foundation of West Tennessee launched a hunger relief appeal in the beginning of November 2025.

We are proud to announce that, with your support, we met our goal and were able to provide emergency grants to regional food banks, meal programs, and other partners, whose work is critical to addressing food insecurity.

The matching period for the hunger relief grants is now closed. However, your general support is always needed to help us fund immediate, high-impact community needs, including future hunger relief efforts.
