The Second Harvest Food Bank of Middle Tennessee (Nashville) has a unique USDA-inspected food processing facility in their food bank that produces "boil in the bag" food for hunger and disaster relief.
In addition to producing for their own agencies--food pantries, backpack programs, etc.--they also produce for other Feeding America food banks around the country.
Scott Burleson, director of manufacturing for the food bank, describes the operation in the video above.
This is a great example of innovative solutions being applied to ongoing challenges.
