Nashville Predators Foundation makes $25K donation to Second Harvest Food Bank

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WSMV) – The Nashville Predators Foundation donated $25,000 to the Second Harvest Food Bank of Middle Tennessee.

The donation was in sponsorship of Second Harvest’s annual Spread the Love campaign, the foundation said.

Each February, Second Harvest asks its supporters to donate peanut butter, jelly, nut butter and other spreadable food to stock the shelves of other regional food pantries. These items are the most needed at Second Harvest due to nutritional value, long shelf life and popularity, the Preds Foundation said.

“Second Harvest Food Bank has been a tremendous partner to the Preds Foundation, and is a critical resource for our community,” said Rebecca King, Vice President of Community Relations for the Nashville Predators. “We’re proud to support such an impactful organization.”

Donations from this year’s campaign help to stock shelves at more than 600 other partner food pantries.

“With this year’s drive, Second Harvest Food Bank was able to raise 210,220 meals between the Nashville Predators sponsorship, food drives, cause marketing and the Spread the Love corporate competition. In addition, Nashville Predators staff members held a “Spread the Love” drive and collected 524 pounds of peanut butter to help combat the fight against hunger,” the Preds Foundation said.

The Nashville Predators Foundation donation was able to be made through funds raised in partnership with Compassion International’s Fill the Arena campaign.
