WATCH: How Table to Table’s Food Rescue is Combatting Food Insecurity in NJ

Our Executive Director Heather Thompson discussed how our food rescue efforts with farms, grocery stores, and distributors help combat food insecurity in northern New Jersey communities on “Think Tank” with Steve Adubato.

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 276 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 133,271 tons of nutritious food — enough for 266,542,863 million meals — and delivered it to our neighbors in need, saving over 612 metric tons of methane saved.
