Our Mission 〰️

TRAR Foundation is a non-profit organization dedicated to cultivating a sustainable future where food waste is reduced, and access to nutritious food is a right, not a privilege. Our mission is to empower communities through the exchange of produce and pantry staples, fostering a culture of sharing. By connecting neighbors, we aim to create a resilient network where surplus food becomes a resource rather than waste. Together, we can combat food insecurity and build stronger, more nourishing communities for all.

“I created this organization to give people a choice. Through my work in soup kitchens and restaurants over the past five years, I've observed the significant inequalities people face in accessing fresh and affordable food. I believe the TRAR Foundation can ensure that good food is a right for everyone, not just a choice for a few.”

“Nutritious food is inaccessible to so many people because of systemic barriers, and this lack of access manifests in poor community health outcomes and further entrenches these disparities. I joined the TRAR Foundation to contribute to the work of so many organizations in Nashville looking to interrupt this cycle. I believe in the power of communities to be self-sustaining; our flagship initiative, Porch2Porch, aligns with this ethos by developing a network of neighbors looking out for each other, which is a central tenet of the foundation’s mission.”
