Join the Community Food Funders for a deep dive into the problem of food waste, where funding has been going, how local and national organizations are establishing innovative partnerships to address food waste, and why and where funders should get involved.
Want to meet other funders working on current issues in food justice? We’re excited to launch CFF Roundtables, a new series of lunchtime meet-ups. Join an upcoming roundtable to meet other funders interested in the same topic. Hear from each other about what is happening in the space, and discuss any opportunities or challenges that may be on the horizon.
Join Community Food Funders, New York Health Foundation and our co-sponsors to learn from community leaders and advocates about their recent wins, such as the Sweet Truth Act that passed last fall. We’ll also hear about a new slate of food policies that would take the burden off consumers to parse healthy from unhealthy foods and that would encourage retailers, manufacturers, and government agencies to create healthier default options.
CFF partnered with GrowNYC to host an insider’s tour of the soon-to-open New York State Regional Food Hub. The day began with lunch at The Point CDC, where guests were given an introduction to the Hunts Point neighborhood and learned its history of environmental justice organizing and community-led solutions. From there we caught a ride on the Bronx Culture Trolley to the site of the Hub. GrowNYC staff led a tour of the 60,000-square-foot cold-storage facility.
CFF and GrowNYC invite you on an insider’s tour of a new state of the art facility, the New York State Regional Food Hub, a 60,000 sq. ft. food distribution hub set to open in 2024 and located in the Hunts Point neighborhood of the Bronx.
