Rescuing Food. Reducing Waste.
Relieving Hunger.
Every day for more than two decades Table to Table, New Jersey’s first and largest food rescue organization, has picked up fresh, high quality and wholesome food that otherwise would be discarded and delivers it safely to agency partners, including soup kitchens, homeless shelters and senior facilities that serve nutritious meals to the hungry. We focus on efficiency and effectiveness, enabling us to feed the greatest number of people with the freshest, most nutritious food.
Through our powerful collaboration with our agency partners, financial sponsors, food donors and volunteers, Table to Table has significantly moved the needle to feed hungry neighbors throughout Northern New Jersey.
2024 Impact Report
T2T_2024_ImpactReport-PagesJoin Us in Our Fight Against Hunger
Forty percent of the United States’ food goes uneaten—that’s more than 220 pounds per person! By rescuing the surplus food, we can provide countless meals for hungry children and families while preserving our environment. After all, the uneaten food ends up rotting in landfills, accounting for 16% of U.S. methane emissions.

How We Work
Table to Table is New Jersey’s first and largest food rescue organization. We accomplish this in two ways. We operate a fleet of refrigerated trucks for the daily pick-up and delivery of fresh, nutritious food. And, through our app, Table to Table I-Rescue, volunteers play a big role in our success by picking up food from grocery stores, restaurants, and other food-service locations and dropping it off at our local community partners, including food pantries, senior centers, veterans’ programs, and community kitchens.
Because of Table to Table’s efficiency and transparency, we have earned the 4-Star rating by Charity Navigator for the 14th consecutive year and earned a Guidestar Exchange Platinum Level Designation.
Efficient Fundraising and Management
At Table to Table, at least 98 cents of every dollar goes directly to the operation of our vehicles and the delivery of food. The key to our operation has always been an emphasis on efficiency and effectiveness, enabling us to feed the greatest number of people with the freshest and most nutritious food. We maintain an internal cost to our organization of 10 cents per meal. Unlike other hunger relief organizations, Table to Table does not charge any fee whatsoever to the agencies receiving our deliveries, their recipients, or the food donors themselves.
