We love an ingenious solution to food waste that's a win for the climate *and* communities facing hunger. So when our friends at Sharing Excess started a pioneering food rescue and redistribution program out of New York City’s Hunts Point Produce Market, the largest produce terminal market in the world, we couldn't wait to lend a hand. Misfits Market is thrilled to donate $200,000 to help Sharing Excess (one of our donation partners since 2019!) expand their operations at Hunts Point and distribute 10 million pounds of fresh, nutritious food to half a million New Yorkers in the year ahead. 🍏 Just before #nycclimateweek, we celebrated this next chapter of our partnership by giving away more than 10,000 pounds of food to the residents of Co-Op City in the Bronx. A huge thanks to everyone who came out, including Bronx Borough President Hon. Vanessa L. Gibson, MPA (She, Her, Hers, Ella), NYS State Senator Jamaal Bailey, NYS Assemblymember Michael Benedetto, and NYS Commissioner of Agriculture, Richard Ball, our very own Abhi Ramesh, and the Sharing Excess team led by Evan Ehlers.
