Rethink Food reposted this
Last week, my good friends Daniel, Susana and I brought together incredible leaders from across the New York food access scene at Rethink Food's Sustainable Commissary Kitchen in Greenwich Village. Over 30 folks from food nonprofits, foundations, city agencies and mission-driven corporates hung out, shared challenges they're facing and brainstormed opportunities to collaborate. In many ways, this was a historic night. Our organizations and our leaders don't come together like this. More of this is needed in the future. Forums for leaders on the frontlines of the food access fight to find common ground and to opt for collaboration instead of competition. I can't wait for the next event we put on and to continue championing the incredible work these different orgs, companies and agencies are doing for communities in need across our city.
