Founded by Chris and Elaine Whitney, One Generation Away was built with the hope that no one would have to make the choice between buying food and paying for another critical need, such as medication, utilities, or rent.
To fulfill their mission, OneGenAway focuses on three areas: Food Rescue, Food Distribution, and disaster relief. Their food rescue focuses on obtaining surplus food from grocery stores, restaurants, farms, and others in the food service industry that would have otherwise been thrown away. With the rescued food, they distribute fresh, high-quality foods to individuals and families in need throughout Middle Tennessee, North Alabama, and the Florida panhandle; taking food to places of need rather than asking those in need to come to us.
Their disaster relief efforts seek to provide long-term relief after major weather events, taking the burden of food off of those who are rebuilding their lives.
