Additionally, you will soon be able to deliver food directly to individuals in Bergen County struggling with access to food via the Table to Table Rescue App. It matches smaller commercial food donors with our network of Table to Table volunteers who pick up and deliver fresh, wholesome food to community-based agency partners, who can then identify local families in the greatest need.
