On November 1, more than 40,000 people in our East Tennessee campus
region began missing meals because their SNAP benefits were not paid.
40% of Tennessee SNAP recipients are children, and over 700,000
Tennesseans statewide are now coping with the loss of these essential
benefits.

Your participation in the Vols Feed Vols Community Food Drive can make a difference. Let's show our neighbors what it means to be a Volunteer! 

$50 can feed a family for 2 weeks. $1 covers three nutritious meals.
