27 Organizations in New York City Combating Food Waste

, The 2nd Annual New York City Food Tank Summit on October 3rd entitled “Focusing on Food Loss and Food Waste” is only two weeks away and now completely sold out! It’s going to be an incredible, inspiring, and unforgettable day!  Food journalists from CNN, The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, New York Magazine and more will be leading conversations on stage with more 30 incredible speakers! If you (or please pass the word to someone you think might be interested) still want to attend the event—the only way to get in now (other than if you are a journalist) is through volunteering! We still have 25 volunteer shifts to fill and most roles will allow you to see either most or all of the event live (also includes breakfast, breaks, and lunch)! Interested in helping? Please email vanesa@foodtank.com.  We will be streaming the entire event live completely free at FoodTank.com and on Food Tank’s Facebook page. If you can’t join us live, we will be airing some of the sessions on our podcast “Food Talk with Dani Nierenberg” and posting videos on Food Tank’s YouTube channel. If you still want to attend in person, we will do our best to accommodate: please join the waiting list and we will fill those spots on a priority basis as we get word of cancellations.  If you can’t join us in New York City, you can still get tickets for our first ever San Diego Summit called “Growing the Food Movement,” with 30+ speakers in partnership with the Berry Good Food Foundation and University of California—San Diego.
