One Generation Away Partners with AAA to Fight Food Insecurity in Davidson County
Mobile Food Pantry Set for June 7 at Maplewood High School in Nashville
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (June 3, 2025) – More than half of Nashville’s workforce earns less than what is needed to cover basic living expenses, according to a recent report from Metro Social Services. The reality is stark: many families across the city face daily uncertainty about where their next meal will come from.
In response to this growing need, One Generation Away is partnering with AAA – The Auto Club Group (ACG), the nation’s leader in roadside assistance services, for an upcoming mobile food pantry aimed at serving families in need across Davidson County. The mobile food pantry will take place on Saturday, June 7, 2025, from 8:30 a.m. to 10 a.m. at Maplewood High School (401 Walton Lane in Nashville).
“Our mobile food pantries are made possible by the generosity of sponsors like AAA,” said Chris Whitney, Founder and CEO of OneGenAway. “This kind of partnership not only helps put food on tables but also sends a clear message to our neighbors: You are not alone.”
Through this sponsorship, AAA-ACG is supporting OneGenAway’s mission to eliminate hunger by providing fresh, healthy groceries – no questions asked. AAA-ACG’s ‘Our Neighbors’ program is an extension of the club’s corporate values to serve its members and do what’s right. AAA-ACG’s grant program was created to help ensure that the communities they serve have access to the essentials they need to thrive.
“AAA -The Auto Club Group is honored to support the work OneGenAway is doing in Nashville and beyond, especially in the aftermath of disasters such as hurricanes and the impact that the organization continues to make in addressing food insecurity for the most vulnerable citizens throughout Davidson and Williamson counties,” said Padmaja Rao, Corporate Social Responsibility Program Manager. “We believe in investing in partnerships that strengthen the places where our members and employees live and work, and this event is one way we can come together to make a difference.”
