The last week of September will be Food Rescue Awareness Week to highlight the work that you have allowed Table to Table to do through your support.

 

In the 20 years since we began, we have been able to keep over 15 million pounds of wholesome, nutritious food as a resource by collecting it from donors and distributing it to those in need through agencies providing services to the hungry, homeless and at-risk population of Johnson County.

Area restaurants will be providing information about Table to Table. Many will be donating a portion of their sales during this week. Please see the list below:
