FRANKLIN, Tenn. (WTVF) — The nonprofit One-Generation Away is getting help from local healthcare workers this month.
Employees from HCA Healthcare will be at the warehouse in Franklin on Tuesday bagging food items and creating emergency food boxes for distribution in Middle Tennessee.
One-Generation Away is a nonprofit that rescues high-quality, surplus food from grocery stores, restaurants, farms, and caterers, and redistributes the food to families and individuals experiencing food insecurity.
Tuesday's volunteer effort is part of HCA's “Community Days: A Month of Service,” a month-long volunteer campaign that takes place in April. HCA Healthcare provides financial contributions, and its employees provide volunteer time to not-for-profit, charitable organizations in Middle Tennessee.
My friend and colleague Carrie Sharp had a lot of fun last week, on an adventure to a country more than three thousand miles away! She’s back now – sharing her Adventures in Iceland through stories, and incredible images of this remarkably beautiful and unique island nation (kudos to Chief Photographer Catherine Steward)! But did you know Nashville has something very important in common with Iceland? Tourism! Here, Carrie explains how a volcanic eruption decades ago helped save the country’s economy from collapse!
