Table to Table’s annual Partners in Good Health Conference offers networking and professional development for our community partners to learn and share best practices regarding nutrition, health, and well-being.
About The Conference
Table to Table’s Partners in Good Health Conference brings together our community partners and local experts to explore the critical connection between food and health. Together, we share best practices in supporting better health for our neighbors.
Table to Table, New Jersey’s first food rescue, has bridged the gap for local neighbors in need by reducing food waste, sustaining those who are struggling, and contributing to their better health outcomes. We recognize the vital role that fresh food plays in nourishing not only the body, but also the spirit and mind.
