The Next Step in the Morton Memorial Food Mission
For many years, Morton Memorial's Food Ministry has faithfully served our neighbors by providing food, compassion, dignity, and hope. From its beginnings in a small church facility, the distribution has grown to serving over 200 families monthly. On the second Saturday of each month, 20,000 pounds of food are distributed to our neighbors from surrounding counties who are facing food insecurity. The need is greater than ever due to cuts to government programs, and the facilities are reaching near capacity for serving. The next step for the food mission is to build its own building, providing the space for a new iteration of service.
This new space will allow us to:
• Expand our ability to serve neighbors in need.
• Create a shopping-style experience that can offer a sense of independence through providing the opportunity for food choice.
• Improve safety and traffic flow for volunteers and guests.
• Provide dedicated storage and operational space.
• Return Fellowship Hall to broader church and community use.
• Position the ministry for future growth and impact.

Join the Morton Memorial Team in the 12th Annual Hunger Walk!
The Monteagle-Sewanee Rotary Club will host its 12th Annual Hunger Walk on Saturday, September 26th. The Club aims to raise $100,000 to support local organizations fighting food insecurity in the South Cumberland Plateau region of Middle Tennessee. The proceeds benefit three area food banks: Morton Memorial Food Mission in Monteagle, Community Action Committee (CAC) in Sewanee, and Grundy County Food Bank. Because of government cuts in social programs and rising food costs, there are more families in need and puts a strain on the food banks' resources. The money raised though the Hunger Walk go directly to each food bank to fulfill the needs of families and neighbors.
