FRANKLIN, Tenn. (WTVF) — With icy roads and power outages affecting the region during this winter storm, many people are struggling to get basic necessities like food. One Generation Away, a local charity based in Franklin, is working to feed as many people as they can during the crisis.
The organization has been partnering with multiple different organizations to get food to those in need, recognizing that without power, one of the biggest challenges people face is accessing food.
Chris Whitney, founder and director of One Generation Away, explained how the organization has been able to step up during the emergency.
Whitney said the organization felt it was important to offer this emergency assistance on top of what they already do in the community.
For those who need help themselves, Whitney provided information about how people can access the food distribution services.
The charity has several upcoming events to continue their storm relief efforts. One Generation Away will partner with New Season Church for a food giveaway at 3 p.m. Friday. They will also conduct their own distribution Saturday morning at Centennial High School.
People who want to help or volunteer can find more information about upcoming events on One Generation Away's Facebook page.
