OneGenAway 2024 Spring Breakfast
April 19 @ 6:15 am - 8:15 am
Free
This fundraising event with free breakfast will support our efforts to rescue surplus food from grocery stores, restaurants, and caterers and distribute it to our neighbors experiencing food insecurity.
Come to the table, and join the movement!
This year’s fundraising goal is $500,000. Sponsorship opportunities are available. Visit onegenaway.com/events to learn more or make a donation.
At the breakfast, guests will hear from OneGenAway’s CEO, Chris Whitney, about the prevalence of food insecurity and the nonprofit’s mission of sharing hope, honor, and dignity through food. The featured speaker is David Nasser, an evangelist, author, and leader of the nonprofit For Others Collective. “I am thrilled to partner and be a part of One Generation Away’s Spring Breakfast. Their work is vital and literally changing thousands of lives for the better, so I am honored to join them,” said Nasser.
Nasser was nine years old when his family was forced to flee their home country of Iran amidst a bloody revolution and seek asylum in America as refugees. At age 18, he found hope and redemption through a relationship with Jesus Christ.
This year’s Breakfast Chairs are Justin and Kelley Maierhofer. Described as “community leaders with servants’ hearts,” the pair is actively involved in their local communities through service organizations, school boards, and more. They live in Brentwood with their three children. Justin is the Regional Vice President of the Tennessee Valley Authority’s North region. Kelley, a former personal chef, owns the catering company Who Has Thyme? LLC.
