‘The reality is there is need all around us in NJ,’ Thompson told New Jersey Now.
Table to Table Executive Director Heather Thompson appeared on My9’s New Jersey Now program recently. She spoke with host Mark Bonamo about the need for an organization like Table to Table to exist, our need for more volunteers, and our recent expansion into Morris County.

As New Jersey’s first and largest food rescue, Table to Table’s mission is to reduce food waste and provide nourishment to our food-insecure neighbors throughout northern New Jersey. We rescue millions of pounds of fresh food annually that would otherwise be wasted and end up in landfills. This contributes to climate change. We deliver it to partner organizations who support the nearly 1 million people in New Jersey who do not have regular access to fresh, nutritious food.
Together, we can reduce food waste and make a positive impact on the planet. Every little bit of effort—no matter how small—leads to change.
