WATCH: Working Hand in Hand with our Community Partners

Our primary focus is rescuing surplus food from our network of food donors and delivering it to our community partners.

Our Executive Director Heather Thompson and Vice President of Operations Julie Kinner participated in a panel discussion “Beyond the Delivery: Working Hand in Hand with our Community Partners” at Food Rescue Hero’s annual Food Rescue Conference 2025. They discussed how we’re building community through our food rescue work in northern New Jersey.

Leland Scales from 412 Food Rescue was also a member of the panel.

The woman, with her hair in a long braid, wears a white tank top and blue pants, listening attentively. The table is filled with informational pamphlets, sign-up sheets, pens, and decorative apples. In the background, a green event tent shades the booth, and other festival attendees, tents, and an inflatable bounce house are visible on a grassy field.
