About Rethink Food:
Rethink Food exists to bridge the gap between perfectly good food that goes to waste and the demand for meals that many of our food-insecure neighbors face.
Through Rethink Certified, we partner with restaurants, kitchens and corporations to provide nutritious, culturally celebrated meals to communities impacted by food insecurity — while using excess food whenever possible. Since 2017, Rethink Food has prepared +10 million meals for local communities utilizing 1.8 million pounds of excess food.
Manhattan West is a Rethink Certified Campus, meaning all food and beverage vendors donate excess food to Rethink. This food is then repurposed into meals for those in need.
LOCATION:
The Manhattan West Plaza is located between 9th and 10th avenues and 31st and 33rd streets. The Plaza sits between the Moynihan Train Hall and the Hudson Yards development.
