Feeding the Hudson Valley is a celebration of positive solutions to the issue of food waste. In addition to a free lunch, the event will include live music, expert speakers, local chef demonstrations, educational activities and resources to create awareness about food waste, food recovery, food waste prevention and feeding hungry people, not landfills.
Leading up to the October 7th feast, a series of gleanings and events will be held to bring attention to the bounty of food produced in the Hudson Valley and the opportunities to reduce food waste and get food to people in need.
