Our Story
Welcome To
Project: Good News
Our story begins with a 17-year-old girl with a desire to help people. Not just anyone, but local people who need food. Project: Good News is partnering with GraceWorks and other area organizations to provide food and other essential items to people in need.
Each week, we will come to your home to pick up any can goods or dry items that you’d like to donate. Think of this as a great opportunity to clean out your pantry and help hungry families in your area.
If you are ready to donate, click here and we’ll get a bag to you so you can begin filling it. Each Monday afternoon, we’ll pick it up off of your front porch. Just that simple!

What is food insecurity and what does it look like in Williamson County?
Food insecurity refers to the lack of access, at times, to enough food for an active, healthy life for all household members. Food insecurity may reflect a household’s need to make trade-offs between important basic needs, such as housing or medical bills, and purchasing nutritionally adequate foods. Williamson County is one of the top 10 wealthiest counites in america and because of this perception people don’t realize the need in our community.
