Our friends at Second Harvest Food Bank of East Tennessee certainly must have smiles on their faces today. If you want to know why, you need only take note of three separate stories in today’s Knoxville News Sentinel referencing some great fundraising news for this vitally important organization.
Last night’s premiere of Twilight: New Moon raised more than $400,000 for the local philanthropic organization Variety of Eastern Tennessee. Second Harvest is among the organizations who benefit from Variety’s support.
The News Sentinel also reported today on the gift of a refrigerated truck and food from Walmart to Second Harvest. (We also reported on this on the Ackermann Wire.)
Finally, the Humana Foundation granted $25,000 to Second Harvest, according to a separate story in the paper today.
That’s a wonderful avalanche news as we enter the Thanksgiving season. To learn more about Second Harvest Food Bank of East Tennessee and the valuable work they do for our neighbors, you can visit them online at http://www.secondharvestknox.org/ or on the Second Harvest Facebook page.
