Description
What We Do
The Love Thy Neighbor Project coordinates a campus and community food pantry for food insecure community members throughout McMinn County, a weekend BackSacks program for impoverished K-12 students in McMinn County, and a mobile food pantry to serve low-income communities in food deserts. The Love Thy Neighbor Project is housed in and operated by the Center for Service and Leadership at Tennessee Wesleyan University and serves community members through partnerships with multiple organizations throughout the community. Volunteering with the Love Thy Neighbor Project is a great way to get your service hours and have a positive impact on your community!
