The Little Pantry That Could is a non-profit organization in Nashville, TN, dedicated to serving the needs of their neighbors who are in need. They provide food assistance, including fresh fruits and vegetables, as well as shelf-stable goods, to anyone in need. Their mission is to make a personal connection with each shopper, letting them know that they are cared for and important. With staggering statistics such as over 20,000 parents in middle Tennessee not knowing if they will be able to feed their children tomorrow, and approximately 25% of children in Tennessee experiencing food insecurity, The Little Pantry That Could plays a crucial role in addressing these issues. They strive to make a difference in their community by providing essential support to those in need, and their efforts have become even more vital as the number of children depending on food assistance has increased by 50% since 2006.Generated from the website
