Community Development Graduate  Destenie Sullivan Finds Dream Job
 “Have you ever gone all day without eating because there wasn’t enough money for food? Have your children ever gone all day without eating because there wasn’t enough money for food?” These are the sobering sort of questions Destenie Sullivan found herself asking clients at shelters, food banks, and soup kitchens all across Middle Tennessee. She helped conduct the Hunger in America 2009 Study as part of her academic internship with Second Harvest Food Bank of Middle Tennessee during the spring semester of 2009.
 
After graduation in May 2009, Destenie was hired as a full-time employee with Second Harvest Food Bank. She now works as one of four agency relations managers, ensuring that approximately 400 affiliated agencies in 46 counties receive more than one million pounds of food a month to distribute to hungry men, women, and children in Middle Tennessee. There is no “normal” day for Destenie. One day she might be working in her office preparing reports for donors or planning food distributions to agencies in her region. The next day might find her in rural Gibson County visiting an affiliated food bank sponsored by a local ministerial association. Destenie likes her job because it gives her an opportunity to see all sides of the work of Second Harvest Food Bank – the donors, the truck drivers and warehouse workers, and the affiliated agencies and their clients. She has found that the blend of business and social work classes that comprised her BBA in Community Development have prepared her well to fulfill the mandate of Matthew 25:35, “For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat . . . .”
