FOOD INSECURITY IN JOHNSON COUNTY
Table to Table manages a complex food rescue network throughout Johnson County involving more than 100 food donors and nearly 50 recipient organizations. Food donors include area stores, warehouses, processors, restaurants, farms, markets, and gardeners that donate their unsold or excess food to Table to Table. T2T volunteers deliver this food directly to organizations that are serving our neighbors in need so this food reaches people as quickly as possible.
Ultimately, people rescue food by eating it: using it for its intended purpose!
T2T rescued $75,000 worth of food in 1996, our first year. Now we keep nearly $10,000,000 worth of food from the waste stream annually.
$1 = up to 5 meals
For every dollar you donate, we distribute enough food for up to 5 meals.

The Unsung Hero of Food Rescue
At Table to Table, we’ve found that one of the most surprisingly perfect tools in our food rescue mission is… the humble banana box.
Sturdy, stackable, and just the right size, these recycled boxes have become our go-to for safely and equitably distributing food to the organizations serving our community.
They might not look fancy, but the banana box is much more than just a mechanism for transporting food. This iconic tool and the way we use it sets the tone for an exceptional food access network, one of the best in the state.
See the Impact. Stay informed.
