The staff at Table to Table is dedicated to feeding our hungry neighbors and encourages you to help!
Ilene Isaacs
Executive Director
Having led a diverse group of organizations providing services to the most vulnerable in our society, it became clear early in Ilene’s career that in order for a person to achieve their goals, their most basic needs first had to be met. Since joining Table to Table 15 years ago, the passion for providing this assistance to people has now grown even greater. Understanding the importance of making healthy and nutritious food available for every one of our neighbors is the motivation that drives Ilene ‘s commitment to excellence, helping ensure that Table to Table will always be the most effective and efficient hunger relief organization available to our community.

Emily Force
Director, Corporate Engagement & Marketing Programs
Emily has spent the majority of her career focused on marketing and events in the corporate environment. She understands the dynamics involved in activating meaningful programs that positively impact an organization and the communities they serve.
It was during her tenure at A&P, where Emily instituted a food rescue program that affected every community in the northeast while saving the company millions, that she realized how much food was being wasted and the staggering number of people who were hungry - and just then - she wanted in!
Em is on a mission to make sure every business, large or small, understands that hunger is prevalent right in our own backyard and wants everyone to know there ARE ways to help. If she doesn't reach you first, please contact her the moment you read this. As she says, "it takes less time to learn how to help than it does for many to find their next meal!

Carlos Alvarez
Driver
After working for 19 years in retail, and then as a driver for Fedex Ground, Carlos became aware of the work Table to Table was doing to help people. He immediately knew that he wanted it to be part of this unique and special organization and was thrilled when given the opportunity to be a member of the team. Carlos loves helping people, something that was instilled in him by his grandmother and mother. While aware that there were hungry people in this country, just like any other, he did not know to what extent. Thanks to Table to Table, along with his co-workers, Carlos is able to help feed a lot of people, knowing that every day counts and that little by little they are getting the job done. Currently in his fifth year working for Table to Table and helping a lot of agencies and people that need assistance, Carlos is happy to be part of the solution and glad to belong to such a great organization.
