Table to Table’s 2026 Chefs Gala Brought Together More Than 30 Culinary Talents

Table to Table’s 2026 Chefs Gala on Thursday, October 15, brought together more than 30 culinary talents, including James Beard Award-winning chef Kwame Onwuachi, and raised over $600,000 to support the nonprofit’s food rescue mission.

The organization also announced plans to relocate its headquarters to Englewood, where expanded storage space will help provide an additional 1.5 million meals or more in its first year.

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.
