The Tennessee Titans today announced the launch of a week-long food drive in honor of next week's "615 Day," celebrated annually in Nashville on June 15. The "Celebrate 615" food drive benefits Second Harvest Food Bank and will take place from Wednesday, June 8 - Wednesday, June 15. Participants are encouraged to bring Second Harvest 'most-needed' food items like peanut butter, rice and beans, macaroni and cheese, pasta, cereal and canned fruits, meat and veggies to the below six locations all week.
In keeping with the '615' theme, the Titans will host a pop-up store on the second floor of Fifth + Broadway near the escalators on Wednesday, June 15 at 5 p.m. CT. The store will feature a retail area with '615' t-shirts, screen printing, and giveaways. $6.15 happy hour specials will be running until 6:15 p.m. CT. in the adjoining food hall.

"615 Day is all about celebrating our Nashville community and what makes this city so incredibly special," said Kate Guerra, Titans Vice President of Marketing and Communications. "I can't think of a better way to honor our city than working together to benefit one of our most critically important organizations, Second Harvest. We hope fans will drop off donations throughout the week and join us on June 15, ending the day at Fifth + Broadway."
