Shopping for a Worthy Cause
Le Creuset has tapped Music City-based nonprofits The Nashville Food Project and Second Harvest Food Bank of Middle Tennessee as the benefiting charity partners of the Nashville Factory-to-Table sale event.

Additionally, in lieu of a $10 ticket, Le Creuset asks all attendees of the Sunday shopping sessions on October 1 to bring pantry items to donate to Second Harvest. The Middle Tennessee food bank’s most-needed items include peanut butter, canned meat (chicken or tuna), canned vegetables, canned fruit, pasta and cereal.
