Share My Meals Inc.

Last week, our CEO, Hélène Lanctuit, had the opportunity to speak at the Sustainability in Motion Conference during the Sustainable Food Management panel. Hélène joined an insightful discussion alongside Alessia Eramo (Morris County MUA) and Fred Rohs (South Jersey Industries/RNG Energy Company), moderated by Gary Sondermeyer, Vice President of Operations at Bayshore Recycling Corp. A huge thank you to our friend Gary, for bringing this incredible panel together to explore solutions for reducing food waste holistically with better planning at the county level, redistribution of surplus food to our community in need and valorization of the remaining non edible portion through anaerobic digestion. The engaging conversation and thoughtful questions from attendees highlighted the growing momentum toward a more sustainable future. ????? Together, we can continue driving meaningful change in food recovery and sustainability! #ShareMyMeals #FightFoodInsecurity #EndHomelessness #MealRecovery #CommunityImpact? #SustainabilityInMotion #SustainableFuture #NewJersey #MealRecoveryCoalition #MealRecoveryRevolution

??? We’re proud to kick off our new partnership with Subaru of America! Last Thursday, we completed our first meal recovery pick-up from Subaru’s cafeteria in #Camdem run by the service food provider Eurest, delivering 16 trays and 35 prepackaged meals to Joseph's House of Camden, a nonprofit dedicated to supporting and empowering individuals experiencing homelessness. A heartfelt thank you to the amazing Subaru volunteers who made this possible and for joining us in serving our local community and protecting our planet! ?? Stay tuned for more as this partnership continues to grow.

We’re thrilled to announce that Will Collins has officially joined Share My Meals Inc. (SMM) as our Board Member & Treasurer! Will’s journey with SMM began in 2022 when, as an intern at Johnson & Johnson (J&J), he expressed his passion for the nonprofit world to former SMM board member Stéphanie DIDIER - LE RETIF. Recognizing his dedication, Stephanie invited Will to support our operations team as a finance partner. ?? Since then, Will has been an integral part of our finance committee, offering expert financial guidance to our COO and Operations team helping forecast budgets, manage spending, and optimize systems like #QuickBooks. ??? Beyond the spreadsheets, Will rolls up his sleeves each week to personally recover meals from J&J’s headquarters in New Brunswick allowing him to build meaningful connections with J&J cafeteria workers and volunteers from our nonprofit organization partner Elijah's Promise. Currently part of J&J’s Finance Leadership and Development Program, Will brings valuable expertise from his role in Investor Relations, where he supports quarterly earnings reports and key investor activities. When he’s not busy crunching numbers or recovering meals, you can find Will on a tennis court, hiking trails, or volunteering with his church. His deep commitment to community service, rooted in years of leading youth programs and fundraising initiatives, makes him an incredible addition to our board. ?? Welcome, Will! We’re so grateful for your leadership, heart, and dedication to helping Share My Meals grow and thrive. #ShareMyMeals #BoardMember #NonprofitLeadership #FoodInsecurity #FoodWaste #CommunityImpact #NewJersey #MealRecoveryCoalition #MealRecoveryRevolution

At Share My Meals, we believe that collaboration drives meaningful change and we’re excited to partner with Classic Cafe and Safe+Sound Somerset, with invaluable volunteers from AT&T, to fight food insecurity while reducing food waste! ????? Through this initiative, surplus prepared meals from classic cafe in #Bedminster, NJ, are now being recovered and delivered each Friday to families served by Safe+Sound, thanks to the dedication of AT&T volunteers. The impact has already been felt! Safe+Sound shared this heartfelt message: ?? "I am happy to report that week one and week two were a great success. The food presentation, variety of selections, delicious spread, and the care of the delivery made Safe+Sound grateful to be a part of this program. Our families were gracious to receive the delightful meals and even more thankful for the love and care that was poured into the packaging. Your hospitality and amazing food choices have made Friday evenings truly special for a family-style meal, creating wonderful memories for families. Thank you for all you do, and the kindness you have shown to our families through Share My Meals." A huge thank you to our incredible partners and volunteers who make this happen.

In Mercer County, 10% of the population faces food insecurity, while in school cafeterias where food is prepared at high volume, there is often some unavoidable food surplus that goes to waste due to various constraints. Our new partnership with Princeton Public Schools NJ and Pomptonian Food Services is tackling both issues by recovering surplus healthy meals and delivering them to families in need in the Princeton area. ?? This partnership is a prime example of how schools, nonprofits, and food service providers can work together to make a lasting impact. ?? “Partnerships like this highlight the importance of community-driven solutions.” – Meg Lembo, Director of Outreach of Share My Meals Inc. ?? “By donating our surplus meals, we’re not only reducing food waste but also ensuring that students and families in our community have access to nutritious food.” – Shannon Barlow, Food Systems Literacy Coordinator at Princeton Public Schools. ?? “Partnering with Share My Meals and Princeton Public Schools allows us to extend our mission beyond the cafeteria, directly impacting families in need and supporting our shared commitment to sustainability.” – candy vidovich, CEO of Pomptonian Food Service. This initiative is a step toward a healthier and more equitable food system for our community. ??
