About us

Serving love, organically — across Middle Tennessee

Harvest Her Food and Community Resource Center exists so that no woman has to choose between feeding her children and keeping her dignity.

Our mission

We meet women and families where they are, offering nourishing food, essential hygiene products, quality clothing, and a loving hand to help them rebuild. Every family deserves a fresh start filled with dignity, restoration, and the confidence to bloom again.

Our vision

A Middle Tennessee where every woman has ready access to nourishment, essentials, and community — and where receiving help feels like being welcomed home rather than standing in line.

Because she matters.

Our programs

Three programs, one promise

Harvest Her connects people with the resources they need through three direct-service programs and a growing partner network — each preserving dignity and individualized need.

Women-Led Households · Bloom Boxes

Project 628

One-time, customized emergency support for women-led households. We ask what she needs and build a Bloom Box around her season.

Psalm 62:8

Youth & At-Risk Communities

Project Eden

Food, hygiene, and essential resources for youth and at-risk communities. Nourishing the whole person, not just meeting one need.

Older Adults · Essential Care

Project 4:14

Essential resources for older adults — food, hygiene, clothing, and household necessities. Restoring. Nourishing. Honoring.

Ruth 4:14–15

How we work

The Harvest Her model

Every resource moves through five steps — from donation to delivery — so the right help reaches the right person at the right time.

  1. 01

    Source

    Gather food, hygiene products, clothing, baby items, and household goods from donors and drives.

  2. 02

    Sort

    Organize resources according to population, need, and program.

  3. 03

    Match

    Connect resources to the right individual, household, community, or partner agency.

  4. 04

    Bloom

    Deliver through a Bloom Box, Project Eden distribution, Project 4:14 support, or Partner Network distribution.

  5. 05

    Measure

    Track resources distributed, people reached, households served, and community needs identified.

Our values

What guides every Bloom Box we pack

Love

Compassion comes before paperwork. Every neighbor is greeted as a guest, not a case number.

Access

Support belongs close to home — in familiar neighborhoods, at hours that work for working families.

Generosity

We share abundance rather than ration it, trusting that a full Bloom Box does more than a careful one.

Beauty with Dignity

Clean spaces, quality goods, and warm welcomes. How we serve matters as much as what we serve.

Who we are

A resource center, not just a pantry

Food is the front door. Once a family walks through it, we help with the things that rarely fit a tight budget — period products, diapers, school clothes, interview outfits — and we connect them to partners for housing, utilities, and childcare.

Harvest Her is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, EIN 93-274535, based at 4015 Travis Drive in Nashville and serving communities throughout Middle Tennessee.
