It was truly rewarding to donate $1000 (740 meals) to @interfaithfoodpantry , a leader committed to fighting hunger in Morris County for over 25 years. IFPN distributed an impressive 2.3 million pounds of food — the equivalent of 2.1 million meals— over the course of 2024

Several hours of commitment creating 35 handmade cards each week since the summer of 2024 felt especially meaningful, knowing this contribution would directly nourish our community.

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who purchased my cards, contributed matching donations and invited me to hold workshops.

How is @tabletotable leveraging digital transformation to expand volunteerism, alleviate food waste and enhance food security. I had the pleasure to interview @juliekinner , Vice President of Operations at Table to Table, to learn about their impactful mission.

Table to Table I-Rescue App allows volunteers to help rescue and deliver fresh food to neighbors facing food insecurity. In 2023, a volunteer base of more than 250 collected a total of nearly 1.3 million pounds of fresh food, providing more than 1 million nutritious meals.

A special thanks to Ms. Maria Sinopoli for coordinating the meeting. Visit @tabletotable to learn more about the organization and explore how you can make a difference.

I had the privilege of interviewing Ms. Kaitlin McGuinness, Senior Project Specialist in U.S. Senator Cory Booker’s office, and learning about Senator Booker’s unwavering commitment to empowering farmers, addressing food insecurity, and championing urban farming. In his book United, Senator Booker even dedicates a chapter to celebrating the Hawthorne Avenue Urban Farm.

Visiting the farm (which is sadly closing soon) and meeting Ms. Abigail Martone, Director of Urban Agriculture & Food Initiatives at Greater Newark Conservancy last summer, was an unforgettable experience. Established in 2012, the farm’s mission has been to provide Newark residents with sustainably grown, fresh, and local produce. The farm features 250 raised garden beds for community use, an orchard with over 120 fruit trees, and 75 rows of fruits and vegetables.

Happy New Year!

Happy Thanksgiving! This holiday, let’s be mindful: 316M pounds of food will go to waste in the U.S., enough to provide 5 meals each to 47.4M people facing food insecurity. Together, we can make a difference.

It was a privilege to interview Dr. Phillip R. Smith, Assistant Dean of Students, Student Basic Needs, at Rutgers University — New Brunswick. My virtual meeting and visit to the Rutgers Student Pantry revealed the alarming extent of food insecurity rampant on the campus but also highlighted the university’s remarkable efforts to tackle this pressing issue.

Did you know that one third of Rutgers New Brunswick students suffer from food? In the fall of 2023 alone, the Rutgers Student Food Pantry distributed an impressive 17,472.67 pounds of food across 3,618 visits, making a significant impact on student well-being. #rutgersuniversity #ruoffcampushousing #food insecurity

The Columbia University’s summer course Entrepreneurship: From Idea to Early Design,
for High School Students was an incredible opportunity to collaborate with a diverse group of motivated peers from around the world, all united by a shared passion for addressing food insecurity.Together with my team, we created Feed Forward, a platform connecting volunteers with restaurants to transport excess food to food banks and pantries. My experience with Good Intentions and my involvement with various pantries allowed me to offer practical insights into the real-world challenges of food distribution.
