There's always an opportunity to get involved by volunteering and giving back to your community with One Generation Away! One Generation Away is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that has been feeding bellies and souls since 2013. Founded by Chris and Elaine Whitney, One Gen Away rescues high-quality, surplus food from grocery stores, restaurants, farms, and caterers and redistributes that food to individuals and families experiencing food insecurity.    What does One Generation Away do?    Food Rescue In rescuing surplus food, mislabeled food, or any food that is good and nutritious but would otherwise be thrown out, we can cut down on food waste from grocery stores, restaurants, caterers, and farms while also striving for the elimination of food insecurity. Food Distribution We rescue and distribute fresh, high-quality foods to individuals and families in need throughout Middle Tennessee, North Alabama, and the Florida panhandle. We accomplish this by giving food directly to our neighbors through our Mobile Pantry and by distributing food amongst a network of partnering agencies, including schools, homeless shelters, domestic violence shelters, other food pantries, and more. We bring food to places of need rather than asking those in need to come to us. Disaster Relief We also engage in disaster relief efforts throughout the southeastern U.S. We know that hurricanes, floods, and tornadoes can devastate entire communities in the blink of an eye, and community support doesn’t always last long enough for impacted households to get back on their feet again. We seek to provide long-term relief after major weather events, taking the burden of food off of those who are rebuilding their lives.     Click HERE to stay updated on volunteer opportunites with One Generation Away.
