Three ways to put food on somebody’s table.
Give money, give goods, or give time. All three keep the doors open.
One
Send a donation
Money is the most flexible thing you can give us. It fills the gaps in a food box when the shelves are thin, covers gas for deliveries, and buys what nobody thinks to donate — formula, diapers, and allergy-safe food.
- Cash App
- $hungerfirstgreene
Hunger First Greeneville is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, so your donation may be tax-deductible.Ask us for a receipt and we’ll get you one.
Prefer to give in person? You can hand a donation to us at Hunger First Greeneville, 7485 West Andrew Johnson Highway, Greeneville, TN during open hours, or email hungerfirstgreeneville@gmail.com.

Hand out
Greet neighbors, load cars, keep the line moving.
Deliver
Take boxes to folks who can’t get out to us.
Sort & fold
Get clothing donations ready for a distribution day.
Wrap at Christmas
Sort, wrap, and label toys through December.
Stuff backpacks
Fill packs against the school supply lists each summer.
How to sign up
Message Michele in the Facebook group, or just come by 7485 West Andrew Johnson Highway and say you’re there to help.
Everything happens in the Facebook group first.
Michele posts there herself — what came in that morning, when a surprise clothing distribution is happening, when sign-ups open for Christmas. If you only follow one thing, follow the group.
