Gatherings: Table to Table’s Partners in Good Health Conference

Editor’s note: This article first appeared in Bergen magazine.

Members of the Saddle Brook-based food rescue organization attended the Third Annual Food Security Summit. Attendees participated in networking events, presentations, and conversation on how leaders across the county are working together to build a stronger food system.

Table to Table is New Jersey’s first and largest food rescue nonprofit, bridging the gap between food being wasted and people facing food insecurity. We bring rescued fresh, nutritious food to 303 community partners, including social service organizations, pantries, shelters, fresh produce markets and centralized distribution hubs. Food is provided free of charge. Through this, Table to Table touches a diversity of those in need, including families, children, veterans, and older adults, making good nutrition accessible while serving as a stimulus for other longer-term benefits. Since 1999 we have rescued more than 120,700 tons of nutritious food—enough for 241,400,846 million meals—and delivered it to our neighbors in need, saving over 544 metric tons of methane from entering the environment.
