Livingston Harrington Elementary Students Honored for Philanthropic Achievements

Harrison Elementary School in Livingston received Table to Table’s 2023 Bernard and Geraldine Segal Foundation for Student Philanthropy for their outstanding fundraising efforts in support of the Bag a Lunch, Help a Bunch initiative. The students’ dedication helped raise $1,459.54 to reduce food waste and provide 14,600 meals to food-insecure neighbors in Northern NJ. The initiative invited participants to donate what they would spend on lunch for a day, week, month or more to help Table to Table reduce food waste and feed those who need it most.

Tablet to Table’s Executive Director, Heather Thompson, commended the students for their community leadership and recognized their remarkable impact on addressing food insecurity. Thanks to a challenge grant from the Bernard and Geraldine Segal Foundation, the funds raised by Harrison Elementary School and other participating schools were generously doubled, amplifying their contribution to the cause.
