Twice Daily Hits Milestone in Fight Against Hunger
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Tri Star Energy, the parent company of Twice Daily convenience stores, recently celebrated its five-year partnership milestone with Second Harvest Food Bank of Middle Tennessee.
According to the chain, the funds raised for the organization over these five years have resulted in 314,800 meals for food-insecure Middle and West Tennessee residents.
Most recently, Twice Daily joined Second Harvest's "Power of ONE" campaign by selling Power of ONE icons in store. Each icon provided four meals for those in need. To celebrate the funds raised during this campaign, Twice Daily presented Second Harvest Food Bank of Middle Tennessee with a check for more than $14,000.
In addition to monetary donations, Twice Daily has also provided numerous volunteer opportunities for employees throughout the partnership and continues to offer service hours through different initiatives during the year.

"This longstanding partnership has been fruitful for our team members and has given us a way to give back to the community we all love."
As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, Second Harvest implements sustainable solutions to food insecurity through a strategically selected network of more than 600 partners across 46 counties in Middle and West Tennessee.

"The funds and volunteer hours they've contributed have provided hundreds of thousands of meals to our neighbors in need, bringing hope and nourishment to families across Middle and West Tennessee. We are incredibly grateful for their continued commitment to fighting hunger."
