Second Harvest Food Bank

The mission of the Second Harvest Food Bank of Middle Tennessee is “to feed hungry people and work to solve hunger issues in our community.” In order to show their support for the mission statement, the Chapel Assistants sorted food items in the Second Harvest warehouse so that they could be distributed throughout the region.

Bread for the World

Bread for the World is a collective Christian voice urging our nation's leaders to end hunger at home and abroad. The Fisk Memorial Chapel is proud to partner with Bread for the World in a national effort to end hunger. In their effort to end hunger, Bread for the World provides opportunities for concerned citizens to lobby members of congress for the purpose of encouraging them to support legislation which puts a circle of protection around poor and hungry people. Real and proposed budget cuts to program such as SNAP (Supplement Nutrition Assistance Program, formally known as food stamps), Head Start, meals to senior citizens, free lunches for improvised children negatively impact poor and hungry people. Let’s continue to do our part in ending poverty and hunger now!

Educational Conferences

In response to Jesus’ mandate to “love your neighbors (Mark 12:31),”and to “love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you (Matthew 5:44),” the Chapel Assistants attended conferences regarding the biases and challenges associated with the death penalty.  Pictured from left to right: Ms. Alonyia Godfrey ‘16, Ms. Jade Hendricks ‘16, Reverend Stacy Rector, Executive Director of Tennesseans for Alternatives to the Death Penalty, Dr. Richard Goode, Professor at Lipscomb University, Mr. Lannie Smith ‘15, Ms. Courntey Macon ‘14, Mr. Randolph Wilson and Dean Curry.
