NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — Metro Social Services is seeing an uptick from local families trying to navigate the higher cost of living. One of the department's many requests for support is for access to food. On Saturday, they'll hold their first ever Food Pop Up food box giveaway.
Organizers will be in Hermitage with the boxes. The giveaway will start at 10 a.m. with boxes given out on a first come, first serve basis at 3055 Lebanon Pike, next to TruFit.
The most recent report from the department last year shows that one in ten Nashvillians is food insecure, meaning they don’t have access to sufficient or adequate food. The same report found half of Nashville workers earn below a living wage and economic hardship is widespread in the area.
I'm not sure there is a story that's brought a bigger smile to our faces than this one celebrating Ms. Marie. The story of her service during World War II is amazing in itself — she is a true Rosie the Riveter! What was also amazing was to see was how an entire community turned out to celebrate her. You've got to check this out!
