Show exhibitors donate surplus specialty food to City Harvest.
The Specialty Food Association (SFA) Summer Fancy Food Show ran from June 12–14 at the Javits Center, and featured more than 1,900 companies from around the world. On the final day of the show, exhibitors donated their surplus specialty food to City Harvest. This year, nearly 200 City Harvest volunteers collected 112,000 pounds of meat, cheese, specialty groceries, beverages, confections, and snacks.
"Combating hunger through food recovery is a longstanding endeavor for our organization," said Jennifer Carney, director, tradeshow operations, for the SFA. "City Harvest is a longtime partner that highlights the importance of community involvement for the specialty food industry."
