The Landmark has a long tradition of donating to food rescue programs such as Table to Table. Every Monday morning for the past 5 years Table to Table visits The Landmark to pick up the leftover prepared and perishable food items from the previous week. In 2010 The Landmark donated a total of 2,650 pounds of food, helping Table to Table reach their goal of delivering over 6.5 million meals. For the new year, The Landmark is excited to continue this wonderful tradition of helping Table to Table deliver food to those who need it most.
Table to Table is a community-based food rescue program that collects prepared and perishable food that would otherwise be wasted and delivers it to organizations that serve the hungry in Bergen, Hudson, Essex and Passaic counties. It is the first and only food rescue program in Northeast New Jersey. With five refrigerated vehicles and dedicated drivers, Table to Table picks up food that is unable to be sold, but still of good quality, from a wide range of food establishments each day. The food is delivered on the day it is donated to day care centers, pantries, shelters, soup kitchens, programs for women and children who are victims of domestic violence, senior adult centers, substance abuse rehabilitation centers, and programs that assist the working poor.
