The Wayne Rotary Club, working alongside the Wayne Volunteers and nonprofit Table to Table, is organizing a large-scale meal-packing event Saturday, April 18 at the Wayne Community Center.
The goal is to prepare 2,000 meal packs for more than 10 organizations across Passaic County, TAPinto Wayne reported. Table to Table volunteers will collect the meal packs and deliver them to the partner organizations.
Making sandwiches and creating meal packs are just two of the ways volunteers can give of their time and energy to our 26-year mission of rescuing food, reducing waste, and relieving hunger.

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 meals — and delivered it to our neighbors in need, saving over 612 metric tons of methane.
