"Hurricane Relief Effort," click here Second Harvest Food Bank of East Tennessee -overview Second Harvest Food Bank's mission is to fight hunger by providing food, services and education in our 18-county community. Despite our region's strong economy and vast agricultural resources, hunger strikes 1 out of every 8 East Tennesseans. For nearly 175,000 people, the local soup kitchen or food pantry may be the only thing standing between them and days of hunger. Second Harvest distributes food to more than 350 agencies. These agencies, in turn, serve meals to hungry people in our 18 county area. Last year Second Harvest distributed over 8.1 million pounds of food. Food is distributed to agencies at a very low cost, typically 14 cents per pound or less. This low cost helps agencies operate on an often razor thin budget and enables them to help more people. Second Harvest distributes food to agencies only. If you require food assistance please call us at 865-521-0000 and you will be directed to the appropriate agency.

Extractions: The Scholars Advantage Postsecondary Achievement Wages Scholars Course of Study ... Notify me Fact Sheet The State Scholars Initiative is a simple, low-cost, high-impact strategy to motivate students to complete a set of high-school courses that prepare them for college and careers. The Initiative places business people in classrooms to promote completion of the Scholars course of study immediately before students select courses. The Center for State Scholars provides technical assistance on ways to align state policy with the Scholars course of study. Background The Initiative is based on work done by employers and educators in Arkansas, Tennessee, Texas, and Virginia communities dating back to 1988. On August 29, 2002, President George W. Bush and U.S. Secretary of Education Rod Paige launched the State Scholars Initiative to support statewide business/education coalitions committed to improving the academic achievement of high-school students. The Need for Rigorous Coursework Bureau of Labor Statistics projections show that 80% of the top 50 fastest-growing jobs will require education beyond high school and that 40% of all new jobs will require at least an associates degree. Employers offering jobs that do not require postsecondary education nonetheless seek employees who are proficient in reading, math, and science, and who can solve problems, work in teams, and communicate effectively. They look for employees who can learn new skills throughout their lives. Yet a large percentage of high-school students graduate without the solid academic foundation needed to succeed in higher education and the rapidly evolving workplace.
