They also offer leadership opportunities and activities for high school and middle school students. And they try to help with access to college and workforce preparation. Its a great program. I know a bunch of Vanderbilt people who've gotten involved and all say how great the program is. If you want to volunteer, here is their faq page https://www.oasiscenter.org/help/volunteering-faqs.html. While I'm not quite sure what the volunteer requirements are, the organization told me that it costs them money to do background checks (since you would be working with minors) and so its not exactly a short term project.

First off, the location is great, as when you arrive there is a huge parking lot. No worries about if you'll find a spot. The second you walk in, they were so very organized. You checked in with an individual then waiting for orientation. Once all 80 of us were caffeinated and ready to go, we received an orientation that explained what Second Harvest was, how we were about to make a difference, and what we would be doing. They are nothing short than a Nashville miracle - thank you for all you do! I ended up sorting dry goods that day, which was perfect as the other option was being inside the freezer. They had at least 10 people from the organization on the floor assisting us with questions of where to put this or that, moving carts and barrels as we filled them up. It was a 3 or 4 hour volunteer shift, but it flew by! We ended up sorting 19,615 pounds of dry goods. That's not even counting whatever my coworkers in the freezer accomplished that day. It felt so great knowing just how our hard work would benefit those who need assistance. I haven't been back for another volunteer day on my own yet, but I will be. Please check out this wonderful place and spend a day with Second Harvest. You will not regret it!

Horrible place to work. They treat their workers like robots (slaves) expecting each person to PICK…read more20,000+ pounds a day. Their starting pay is $16, which is not enough for the work being done. There is always a rotten smell throughout the building, black dust on the products and in the air, the racks holding the merchandise are not all securely nailed into the floor, most of the workers barely use the equipment properly, and management has terrible communication skills. The people that work in the office have no problem yelling out how much money the company makes in a year (MILLIONS!!!), but fail to fight for better pay for the people in the warehouse doing the real work. There is drama of some sort every other day. The food they cook is honestly not all that... they could use some seasons or better quality food, everything taste like a cardboard box. There's not enough workers for the amount of work being done, people callout and don't show up do the time. Management has their favorites they let get away with anything! You would think since this place is a food bank it would be a nice job. Nope! Not for the warehouse workers. Most of the workers there are too slow to realize their own worth and what they're being handed. Don't work here unless you absolutely have no care for your life, need a job and can't find anything else, love drama and chaos, want to watch rich people walk pass you as you bust a sweat working for $16 an hour. Truly not worth it, don't waste your time and energy!

As middle Tennessee's only volunteer center, HON serves as the volunteer staffing organization for so many charities who need the help. Everyone knows that charities can't run without (1) money and (2) volunteers. Every September, thousands of HON volunteers descend on Metro Nashville Schools to pour hundreds of thousands of dollar's worth of time into doing much needed maintenance to the system facilities. In the horrific flood of 2010, HON stepped up as the hero organization, providing relief in almost every facet. Full disclosure, I am on the board. I serve on the board because I believe it in so much. HON is financially sound and run like a well-oiled machine by its staff and executive team. If you're a volunteer, just log in to the website and enter the system. You'll be amazed by the opportunities, training and diversity of events. Go ahead...you might just change your life while changing someone else's!
