Need food? Find resources in your neighborhood.
About the role
When you work for Second Harvest Food Bank of Middle Tennessee, you’re doing more than a job. You’re building a career while making a real difference for neighbors in your community. From truck driving to communications, we offer a wide range of opportunities for inspired individuals to help fight hunger in Middle and West Tennessee.
Core Beliefs
- Access to food is a human right
- In being a good neighbor
- To meet neighbors where they are, with compassion
- The power of connection; and that it is our role to connect resources with those who need them
What We Believe
We explore and adjust to new conditions, and we have the courage to be versatile, adapting to the needs of our neighbors, partners and peers.
We move beyond collaboration to proactively develop innovative and neighbor-centric initiatives with our community.
We act with intention to remove barriers, include all voices, and meet people where they are.
We are change agents unafraid to challenge the status quo. We boldly envision and implement new ways to meet needs.
We authentically and intentionally create a culture of care and belonging for all.
We actively listen and hold space for our neighbors, partners, and one another so everyone can share their unique journeys.
"This is very different from a normal truck driving job, where you just bump a dock, sign a paper, and never really know what you are hauling. At Second Harvest, it’s totally different. We build relationships with the Partner Agencies we deliver food to. In my experience, it has led to lifelong friendships."
— LeWayne Jones, Driver
"The actual size and scope of what Second Harvest Food Bank does is initially overwhelming, and I was not prepared for the volume of food moving in and out of our facilities. The number of lives and families touched by what we are able to do, with the support of our community, is staggering and humbling!"
— Brad Bornac, Food Resource Manager
What We Offer
Working with Second Harvest is both challenging and rewarding. When you join our team, you’ll work with a group of dedicated and diverse individuals bringing equitable access to food and resources to people in need across Middle and West Tennessee.
