Feed America First was founded in June 2000, and our mission is to provide food to those who feed the hungry. We receive large scale food donations from manufacturers, producers, retailers, community food drives, etc. We then sort and portion the food with the help of hundreds of volunteers each month. Finally, we distribute the food to more than 200 partner agencies across the middle Tennessee region. With the help of these partner agencies, Feed America First serves over 35,000 families each month. At Feed America First we believe hunger will cease to be a problem in America when we refuse to allow our neighbors to go hungry. For every $1 donated, we are able to provide enough food for 10-15 meals!

A skiing accident at the age of 19 left Sam Sullivan with quadriplegia and exposed him to the reality of the obstacles in the environment around him. Sam envisioned an organization that would help anyone with a significant physical disability to establish their independence and reconnect with the community. In 1987, Sam founded the Tetra Society of North America with the goal of engaging skilled volunteers to construct custom assistive devices to enhance the lives of people with mobility and dexterity impairments. Tetra has expanded to include chapters in over 40 communities across Canada and the United States. This unique program facilitates greater independence and inclusion within communities. Over the years, projects have addressed a huge range of challenges, from devices that help at home, at work, and even the wheelchair attachment Sam used as Vancouver’s Mayor to wave the flag at the closing ceremonies of the 2006 Turin Olympics.
