GRAY – An ongoing partnership between the Appalachian Fair and the Second Harvest Food Bank of Northeast Tennessee is set to turn compassion into action through a remarkable Food Drive Night. This dynamic collaboration aims to combat hunger while inviting fairgoers to exceed expectations and contribute to a transformative cause.

On Tuesday, Aug. 22, the gates of the Appalachian Fairgrounds will open wide for all who wish to partake in the Food Drive Night. The challenge is clear: bring at least three boxes or cans of non-perishable food items to uplift the mission of the Second Harvest Food Bank of Northeast Tennessee. Yet, this isn’t a mere limit – it’s an invitation to surpass it, to make a greater impact against local hunger.

Your generosity deserves recognition and each donor will receive a valuable coupon booklet, granting them two FREE midway rides. Families are encouraged to share this heartwarming experience, with up to 4 ride booklets available per family. Look for the attentive Food Bank volunteers stationed at gates 1 and 5, who eagerly await your contributions. The call extends to an array of non-perishable food items, encompassing essentials such as peanut butter, canned meats, pasta, rice, and more. Kindly remember to leave glass containers behind.

Amidst the lively fair atmosphere, the Second Harvest Food Bank of Northeast Tennessee will host an engaging display booth. Here, attendees can uncover avenues for volunteering and gain insights into the Food Bank’s unwavering fight against hunger. Young fairgoers who visit the booth will walk away with something special – a FREE sticker featuring wholesome vegetables or fruit, adding an educational and delightful touch to their experience.

The monumental collaboration between the Appalachian Fair and the Second Harvest Food Bank addresses the pressing need for assistance in Northeast Tennessee. It is an open invitation to the community to be part of a collective mission transcending limits.
