NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — Budgets are tight especially when it comes to groceries.

You may remember a story from Kelsey Gibbs the other day when she reported we're spending more of our income on groceries than ever before.

Grocery prices are climbing, despite slowed inflation

That's why when I saw this event coming up over the next two days, I wanted to make sure to tell you about it.

The Mid Cumberland Community Action Agency is hosting a two-day food giveaway in Murfreesboro.

It's tomorrow from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. and Friday from 9 a.m. to noon at Allen Chapel AME Church on South Maney Avenue.

Future giveaways for Rutherford County residents, also at Allen Chapel, are happening later this summer:

  • June 6 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
  • June 7 from 9 a.m. to noon
  • September 5 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
  • September 6 from 9 a.m. to noon

Neighbors in Cheatham County will have a chance to attend a similar giveaway this Saturday March 9 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Gateway Church in Ashland City. Future giveaways are scheduled for June 8 and September 7 — same time, same place.
Mid-Cumberland Community Action Agency is also holding food giveaways for Trousdale County residents: 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on March 8, June 7 and September 6. Those events will be held at Trey Park at 265 Marlene Street in Hartsville.
