Food scarcity is a leading problem in Middle Tennessee. With no intervention, over 10% of Tennessee residents will face food scarcity this year. Our community needs your heart, your time, and your support. The MTSU Student Government Association and the Office of Student Organizations & Service  have partnered with Meals of Hope and invite all students to participate.  The event will take place in Student Union 330 (CSIL Office) on March 25, 2026 from Noon – 4:00 PM for the annual BIG Event as we dive back to MTSU’s deep roots of community service and pack 15,000+ meals to distribute to hungry families and food pantries across Middle Tennessee.

Shifts vary on time and the maximum number of volunteers.  We will be trying to conduct two volunteer days per week to allow for more enrichment time with the owls and volunteers.

To make this process work, we need help!  We need volunteers to transport our food bags from Glen Oak Missionary Baptist Church to Beaumont Magnet Academy or to Beardsley Farm on the weeks they will be adding produce.

Volunteers will pick up the food bags in the morning and drop them off at BMA or Beardsley Farm depending on the week.  We usually have approximately 100 to 130 bags.  Rolling bins are available to move items to and from your vehicle at each location.  

I will reach out to you to let you know if you will be delivering to the school or to Beardsley Farm.  Dates for Beardsley Farm will be confirmed by beginning of September.  First Beardsley Farm date is 9/18.

From Chetna: For clarity into why these events are being held – a close member of my family has been diagnosed with cancer and they need a bone marrow transplant. To get a 100% match this can be 1 in 10,000 or even greater – it is not easy.  When we learned this, we realized that there are 1000’s of individuals out there that are looking for a donor and the only way they can get support is if we build the registry with as many people who are willing to be a donor.  These donors may not be a match today but someday they could be.  Awareness and willingness to support is key.

The two events my family is hosting is during Holi Events in our community as this will draw a large volume of people for us to engage.

Hosted by: Chetna Vaghela & Family

Volunteers are needed for several roles.

We are looking for uplifting letters that will bring their recipients some joy!

This month you are welcome to incorporate poetry in your theme for your letters in honor of World Poetry Day. You can incorporate the theme through art, by making your own themed cards and within the message of your letter. If you'd rather write about something else, you are welcome to do so as well.

In partnership with the Humphreys County Chamber of Commerce, GNRC is hosting a digital literacy class for older adults in Waverly, TN.

Are you interested in teaching a basic computer skills class to a group of 10 older adults? 

All training and material will be provided.

This opportunity requires NO formal teaching experience or a background in IT. A basic understanding of computers is all that’s needed along with a patient demeanor and the desire to bridge the digital gap for older adults in our community.

The class schedule is flexible and will be set together with the volunteer trainer. Ideally, classes will be offered in the mornings at the Waverly Senior Center. Total class time is 15 hours of instruction. An example class schedule could be 1.5-hour class twice a week for 5 weeks.

Trainers teach 15 hours of digital skills training to members of their community who want to develop their computer skills. Trainers will be issued a Chromebook (on loan) and receive training on a ready-made curriculum to guide the course content. Trainers will also have the support of Tech Goes Home staff and GNRC.

Characteristics of good trainers: Trainers do not need to be computer wizards, but they need to be comfortable using Gmail, Google Docs, and Google Sheets. Trainers must feel comfortable searching for answers online. It is most important that trainers are patient, compassioned educators.

Time commitment: The total time commitment for trainers is about 35 hours over the course of several weeks. In addition to trainer orientation (4 hours) each course will require 3 hours of logistics and communication with the team; 15 hours of class; 5 hours of make-up class(es); 6-8 hours of prep work (about an hour per class).

Trainers may be eligible to receive a stipend for teaching the course.

Please express interest in the opportunity and we will follow up with you on next steps and can answer any questions you may have.
