FRANKLIN, Tenn. (Feb. 3, 2025)—Tri Star Energy, the Nashville-based parent company of Twice Daily convenience stores, recently hit its five-year partnership milestone with Second Harvest Food Bank of Middle Tennessee. The company announced that the funds raised for the organization over these five years have resulted in 314,800 meals for food-insecure Middle and West Tennessee residents.

Most recently, the Twice Daily team joined Second Harvest’s Power of ONE campaign by selling Power of ONE icons in-store. Each icon provided four meals for those in need. To celebrate the funds raised during this campaign, Twice Daily presented Second Harvest Food Bank of Middle Tennessee with a check for over $14,000.

“Our partnership with Twice Daily over the past five years has been a testament to the power of community,” said Nancy Keil, president and CEO of Second Harvest Food Bank of Middle Tennessee. “The funds and volunteer hours they’ve contributed have provided hundreds of thousands of meals to our neighbors in need, bringing hope and nourishment to families across Middle and West Tennessee. We are incredibly grateful for their continued commitment to fighting hunger.”

In addition to monetary donations, Twice Daily has also provided numerous volunteer opportunities for employees throughout the partnership and continues to offer service hours through different initiatives during the year.

“Volunteering connects you with other members of the community looking to make an impact on the organization and, in some small way, with the people who benefit from your volunteer efforts,” said Dawn Boulanger, vice president of marketing for Tri Star Energy/Twice Daily.“This longstanding partnership has been fruitful for our team members and has given us a way to give back to the community we all love.
