Vanderbilt and local nonprofit One Generation Away collaborated to distribute food to Nashville-area families experiencing food insecurity . Volunteers gathered in the Fort Negley overflow parking lot in greater Nashville and placed donated food items in families’ vehicles.
“It was a rewarding experience because I was able to see the smiles on people’s faces. I really enjoyed packaging the food and seeing the whole process.”
- Amelia Cephas, Vanderbilt graduate student
