Souper Bowl Food Drive

To show our love for the local community we are partnering with the Community Resource Center February 7th-13th to host a food drive to support Tennessee residents. Beginning on Super Bowl Sunday (Feb 7th), Nashville Zoo is asking for donations of shelf-stable food. As an added incentive, the Zoo is offering a complimentary admission ticket when you donate four or more eligible food items (max of two tickets per donation).

Shelf-stable food includes items such as: 

• Canned food (beans, soups, etc)
• Jarred food (peanut butter, spaghetti sauce, etc)
• Boxed food (cereal, rice, macaroni & cheese, noodles, etc)
• Protein bars, snacks, etc
• Shelf-stable milk 

Our Guest Services staff will collect food at the Zoo’s Entry Village gates from 9 a.m. – 4 p.m daily and Community Resource Center will distribute the food directly into the community. Zoo admission is not required to donate food. All donations must be in a sealed container and no less than 1 month from the expiration date. Complimentary Zoo tickets may be used anytime during normal Zoo hours through the end of 2021. Guests must be present to receive complimentary admission tickets.
