food donation after catered events in NYC

Our hearts go out to all of those affected by Hurricane Harvey in Texas! Many people may wonder how they can help during this time. In our industry, we oftentimes see a surplus of food at the end of events, whether it's the chafing dish that's still almost full after a corporate luncheon or the plethora of hors d'oeuvres that may have been prepared but not consumed at a cocktail reception. We love our local New York City organizations who accept donations from a range of sources, including catering and event planning companies. Groups like Rescuing Leftover Cuisine and City Harvest make donating to those New Yorkers in need possible. To assist those in Texas, donations can be made at Houston Food Bank and Food Bank of Corpus Christi.
