That's a wrap on @PhillyInquirer Food Fest! Our first ever, and one for the books. Grateful for the partners, chefs, creators, guests, and colleagues who helped turn an ambitious idea into a sold-out celebration of Philly food culture. Already dreaming up year two. #INQFoodFest

This is One Philly in action! Partnerships, people, and purpose coming together to strengthen our communities in times of need.   Thanks to @Aramark, @sharingexcess, and @foodconnectgrp, our ‘One Philly Produce Project’ will bring fresh, healthy food directly to 43 Extended Day, Extended Year and community @PHLschools where our children learn and families gather.   As we navigate the SNAP crisis, the ‘One Philly Produce Project’ is just one of the many ways that the @PhiladelphiaGov is stepping up to help neighbors in need — building a stronger, healthier city — one family, one meal, and one school at a time. —— @watlington_sr @marksquilla @EducationPHL

🚨We’re in the middle of a real emergency. Because of the government shutdown and the fact that SNAP is running out of funds, 42 million Americans who rely on food assistance could be left without help. 👉 Go here if you’re ready to STEP UP and help our brothers and sisters in need: tonyr.co/49sVrsk That’s 42 million people — families, children, and seniors — who will go hungry unless WE, the people, step up. I’m partnering with @sharingexcess, an extraordinary nonprofit that rescues and redistributes surplus food nationwide. I’ve personally committed to 50 truckloads of food — that’s 1.5 million pounds, enough to feed 4,000 families for a full month. But this crisis is far bigger than any one of us. We need your help right now. $1,290 sponsors one truckload of food — 30,000 pounds — enough to feed more than 80 families for a month. Please join me in filling the gap during this critical time. Every truck, every dollar, every act of generosity matters. Thank you for your compassion and your willingness to step up when it matters most. ❤️🙏

In the United States, we waste nearly 40% of our food supply. @SharingExcess is on a mission to fix that—rescuing surplus produce and turning it into millions of meals. 🎥 Watch to learn how they do it:

No one should go to bed hungry. Over the last decade, in partnership with the incredible team at @FeedingAmerica, we’ve provided more than 1 BILLION meals to individuals and families facing food insecurity. It started in 2014 with the 100 Million Meals Challenge. That grew into the 1 Billion Meals Challenge — and because of your generosity and the power of this partnership, we reached that goal two years ahead of schedule. But hunger hasn’t gone away. So neither have we. Today, we launch the NEXT BILLION MEALS CHALLENGE, a bold 10-year commitment with Feeding America, to provide another billion meals to those who need them most. The Next Billion Meals will continue my longstanding partnership with Feeding America while also supporting food rescue organizations, such as @farmlinkproject and @sharingexcess. This is about more than food. It’s about restoring dignity, fueling potential, and giving families and individuals facing hunger the certainty they need to move forward with strength. It’s about showing people that STRANGERS CARE. Every $1 helps provide at least 10 meals through Feeding America’s network of food banks. And I will match your donation to The Next Billion Meals Challenge. That means just a $10 donation can provide 200 meals. Every action matters. And when we come together, the impact is exponential. 💥 Let’s deliver the NEXT BILLION. 👉 Donate. Tag a friend. Share the mission. 👉 Visit FeedingAmerica.org/TonyRobbi… where your donation can be matched. The secret to living, is GIVING. Drop a ❤️ if you’re IN. Let’s reach the next billion — together.

Last week, @SharingExcess Founder @EvanEhlers gave MOFP a tour at @huntspointmkt. Sharing Excess rescues 200,000 lbs of food every week and works with community-based partners to redistribute fresh produce throughout NYC, reducing food waste and feeding New Yorkers! 🍏🌽🍅

The band has taken @sharingexcess, an organization that collects food in an effort to make surplus a solution to scarcity, on the road. They were collecting food before the show, so we donated and our name was put on a list to win a chance to go backstage during the show. (2/6)

I toured @sharingexcess food rescue operation at the Phila Wholesale Produce Market today. They’re reducing food waste & food insecurity by redistributing fresh food to our communities. We discussed additional partnership opportunities w/ social services orgs across our region.

Volunteering is the backbone of our communities. It was a pleasure to do so with First Lady Lori Shapiro, @PAAgriculture Chairman Russell Redding and others at @sharingexcess. Their efforts are critical for connecting hungry families with healthy food and reducing food waste.

We have two pieces of awesome news to share this Earth Day. Firstly, thanks to our partners @sharingexcess, we have rescued enough food this year to divert 164 million pounds of CO2 from reaching the atmosphere - that’s the equivalent of taking 17,854 cars off the road!’
