(Rutherford County, TN) Food is in short supply right now throughout Rutherford County, according to LaDawna Parham with the Nourish Food Bank in Smyrna… Problems are compounded for area foodbanks because of supply chain issues that are backlogged from as far back as 2020.

The number of people served monthly has increased significantly since 2019… To highlight the struggle, one of the Nourish Food Banks went from serving 750-clients monthly in 2019 to 1,500 clients per month this year (November of 2022).
