About TN Food on Foot

Food on Foot’s hope for the future is that NO child will go hungry. With your help, we can reach more children in need; we are a Christian non-profit that operates solely off community donations to help families in need.

It all started with a simple question.

In April 2007, Carolyn Jarnagin asked a little boy whether he was excited to start his summer vacation from school.

“No, ma’am,” he replied, “I get to eat at school.” At that moment, Food on Foot was born.

Our Mission

Food on Foot provides food, toiletries, and backpacks filled with school supplies to underprivileged children and families in the Tennessee Lakeway Area.

Childhood hunger stops here!

We provide 5,000 food bags each month to many local schools with needy children.

Through God’s grace and the generosity of people, churches, businesses, and organizations in our community. Food on Foot has been able to go even further, to fill the critical needs of schoolchildren who might not otherwise have access to the tools they need to succeed in school.

Before each school year begins

Hundreds of new backpacks filled with school supplies are provided to needy children in our community.

School supplies are replenished throughout the year, as funds allow.

We do more

Food on Foot provides toiletry bags to children and adults. 

We help underprivileged families enjoy Easter, Thanksgiving, and Christmas with special events. 

Food on Foot Ministry enhances the lives of underprivileged children in the Lakeway Area.
