ANTI-HUNGER
Our mission is to end hunger in Tennessee by protecting and strengthening SNAP, WIC, and other child nutrition programs. We aim to educate and inform people about the federal nutrition programs through outreach materials, webinars, and our collaborative partner network. We also help with direct client services, where we identify program barriers so that we can ultimately advocate for solutions.
ANTI-HUNGER ADVOCACY
1 in 3 families experience food insecurity in Tennessee, according to a 2026 study by Vanderbilt University Medical Center. The nutrition safety net programs provide a sustainable source of food that is vital to the health and wellbeing of families, communities, and grocers across the state. With the support of a statewide network of anti-hunger advocates, TJC works to ensure that these programs are accessible for all eligible Tennesseans. Join our fight to make sure no neighbor goes hungry.
