#Feeding5000NYC event photos now up on Foodstand's Facebook page!

Today we gathered together in Union Square for Feeding the 5000 NYC, which was an initiative organized by Tristram Stuart and @Feedback to raise awareness and action around food waste. Nearly 40% of the food that is grown never makes it to our plates. Food that would have normally gone to waste was collected and served to 5,000 New Yorkers passing through Union Square and another 5,000 was distributed to the 5 boroughs through @CityHarvest. Special thanks to participating organizations including @GrowNYC @NRDC (Natural Resources Defense Council) @SustainableAmerica @TheSylviaCenter @Foodstand @CommonGroundCompost @RockefellerFoundation and others. #NoFoodWaste
