You don’t have to explain yourself to us.
Come by, tell us how many people you’re feeding, and we’ll hand you a box. That’s the whole process.
Getting a food box
Come to 7485 West Andrew Johnson Highway
In Greeneville, TN. Open in Maps
Tuesday – Friday, 1:00–3:30 pm
Any of those four afternoons. Holiday closings get posted in the Facebook group.
Tell us your household size
No ID, no income paperwork, no proof of address. We just want the box to fit your family.
Can’t get out to us? Message Michele in the Facebook group and we’ll try to arrange a delivery.
