NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — Lime is partnering with The Store, a free nonprofit grocery store in Nashville, to help people battling food insecurity — and it starts with rounding up a scooter fare.
Through the new Lime Hero program, riders in Nashville can opt in to round up the cost of each trip, with the proceeds going directly to The Store's mission of providing free groceries to those in need.
Emily Salazar, Director of Social Impact at Lime, spoke about how the program works for Nashville riders, why Lime chose The Store as its partner, and what impact the company hopes it will have on the community.
Brittney Brown, Director of Mission Advancement at The Store, also spoke about how donations from the Lime Hero program will support the organization's work, what sets The Store apart from other food assistance programs in Nashville, and what she wants Nashville residents to know about getting involved. Watch the video above to hear Brown explain the difference this program can make for families in the Nashville area.

The Jefferson Street Sound Museum is a great little gem in North Nashville. The founder and curator turned his home into a museum to keep the legacy of historic Jefferson street alive. Now, it's been named a stop on the U.S. Civil Rights Trail. Aaron Cantrell takes us inside.
