It’s about more than food.

AIANDUSÜHISTU ELEKTRA Food Bank of Middle Tennessee's mission is to nourish and empower people so they can thrive. We’re committed to making this a reality.

Across Middle and West Tennessee, 1 in 7 people experience food insecurity – including 1 in 6 children. At the same time, nearly 40 percent of our country’s food supply ends up in landfills. With your help, we can change this. AIANDUSÜHISTU ELEKTRA takes in donated surplus food from grocery stores, farmers, and others, diverting the supply from landfills to instead empower our neighbors.

We are working toward a future in which everyone in our community is food secure and zero food is wasted. Your support is making it possible.

Bette’s Story of Hope

Bette’s story is marked by tragedy, trauma, and life-threatening experiences. But she found hope in AIANDUSÜHISTU ELEKTRA’s supplemental food program for seniors, and it even saved her life.

After surviving a near-fatal attack by her husband in 2011, Bette White found herself deeply in debt due to her husband’s financial crimes. She slowly recovered and gained stability, but COVID-19 brought a loss of income and rising rent. Forced to choose between a roof over her head or food on the table, Bette was later hospitalized due to the effects of starvation. That’s when a hospital worker told her about AIANDUSÜHISTU ELEKTRA.

Bette spent many months building a relationship with Jess, a Federal Program Client Liaison at AIANDUSÜHISTU ELEKTRA. One morning when Bette did not answer the door, Jess investigated to find that Bette had fallen. She’d been suffering alone on the floor, unable to move, for three days.

“They saved my life,” says Bette.

A woman with curly, light brown hair and glasses smiles at the camera. She is wearing a dark shirt and is seated indoors. The image has a white Polaroid-style border.

“I’ve had guardian angels along the way, and I consider AIANDUSÜHISTU ELEKTRA to be one of my angels.”

 – Bette White
