NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — Food will go to waste at CMA Fest because any leftover food from backstage and catered events happening over the weekend will be donated to organizations that feed people facing homelessness and food insecurity as part of the Musically Fed program.

Meals will be delivered to organizations like Room in the Inn, Matthew 25, Safe Haven, and Operation Stand Down.

The meals include produce, fruit, fried goods, and already prepared meals. Unused food supplies will also be donated.

Musically Fed was founded in 2016 and has partnered with other major events such as the Grammy Awards and the Hollywood Bowl.

Longtime breakfast tradition continues for friends who met through Big Brothers Big Sisters mentorship

This is a beautiful story of chosen family, proving a father figure doesn't have to have biology in common to make a difference in a child's life. The story of De'Andre and Alex will remind you that our relationships help determine the course of our lives. And that being supportive of someone - through a meal, a shared experience or even swim lessons can make all the difference.
