- The Matthew 25-Nueva Vida Food Project is looking for volunteers to help load and distribute groceries to our clients. Please note our location is in the Glencliff area of Nashville and not Brentwood. When we confirm your shift, we will send you the exact address.
- Our volunteer hours for food serves are on Tuesdays, from 4:30 PM to 7:30 PM, and Saturdays, from 11:30 AM to 3:30 PM. We feed over 200 people per week and provide resource information and basic essentials. Those who come to our door represent the beautiful diversity of Nashville. Many are non-English speakers, so we also have a special need for bilingual volunteers to serve as greeters. If you are interested in helping as a translator please let us know when you sign up. In addition, we need volunteers to help on our delivery mornings, Mondays and Fridays from approximately 9 AM to 1 PM. These delivery shifts do involve some heavy lifting as we stock our shelves with food we receive from the Second Harvest Food Bank, but we always share the load and can assign lighter duties if requested. This is a great small group or family activity, as we work in teams of 4 to 6 people of all ages.
