Franklin-based OneGenAway adds regional director of development after year of rapid growth
After a record-breaking year, One Generation Away is welcoming a new member to its team.
During 2024, the Franklin-based nonprofit distributed 10.5 million pounds of food — equivalent to 8.7 million meals — for families in Tennessee, Alabama, Florida and elsewhere. To accommodate this growth, Chris Henson has been named as OneGenAway's new regional director of development.
"For the past nine years, I've had the privilege of volunteering and witnessing firsthand the incredible impact the OneGenAway team has on families facing food insecurity,' Henson said.
Henson has extensive experience in development and fundraising. Most recently, he served as the director of development for the University of Tennessee Southern, the newest of the five campuses in the University of Tennessee System.
A graduate of Leadership Middle Tennessee and an active board member of Blood Assurance, Henson is dedicated to bringing people together to create solutions that strengthen organizations and transform lives."Chris understands that feeding people isn't just about meals; it's about restoring dignity and building community," said Chris Whitney, co-founder of OneGenAway. "With his passion and leadership, we're going to feed more people, serve more communities and bring even more hope to those who need it most.'
The organization was recently ranked the 24th largest nonprofit in Tennessee by the Business Journals. OneGenAway is poised to further its reach to more states in 2025.
'I'm excited to now contribute in a larger way, helping grow the mission and ensure even more families receive the support they need,' Henson said.
