Second Harvest Food Bank of Middle Tennessee has been hard at work to meet the needs of our community throughout the crisis from the recent floods. The widespread damage caused by the flooding throughout Tennessee resulted in 31 of the 46 counties in their service area to be classified as federal disaster areas. The flooding throughout Tennessee has affected our communities both personally and professionally, with many losing homes and belongings along with their jobs, businesses and income.

Keeping the Second Harvest Food Bank warehouse stocked for the ongoing needs of victims in our community is a necessity.  Your support is more vital than ever to help them fulfill their mission to feed our neighbors in need throughout the long-term recovery and rebuilding process.

If you are unable to make it to the show you can still help!  Starting Tuesday, May 25^th Country Music Tattle Tale will be launching our online eBay auctions that will include autographed memorabilia from your favorite country music artists. 100% of the proceeds will be donated to Second Harvest Food Bank of Middle TN.
