The reason for the season....

It is that time of the year, the time to think of others who might not be having a great holiday and what you can do to help. One great way is assisting the Smyrna Fire Department in their annual food drive.
Smyrna Fire Department’s 8th Annual Food Drive
Fire Fighters for Food

Each year the Smyrna Fire Department and the Smyrna/Lavergne Food Bank team up to help fight hunger in Northern Rutherford County. With your help we can make sure that no one has to go hungry this holiday season. Here are some things that you might not know about the Smyrna Lavergne Food Bank




The Smyrna/Lavergne Food Bank (SLFB) has assisted on average 500 families per month.

The SLFB assists over 16,500 people per year.

1 in every 6 people in Northern Rutherford County has received assistance from the SLFB.
Drop off sites are here.
Smyrna Fire Department’s Food Drive will begin Monday, November 2nd and run through Sunday, November 8th. Food items will be collected at any one of our six fire stations.

Station #1 at 400 West Enon Springs Road
Station #2 at 644 Fitzhugh Boulevard
Station #3 at 630 East Enon Springs Road
Station #4 at 145 South Lowry Street

You can also stop by Wal-mart on East Enon Springs Road on Saturday November 7th from 9:00 am until 4:00 pm and drop off your food donations. While you’re there be sure to ask for a tour of the Fire engine.
Today is a great day to help others.
