Taste of RLC

About Taste of RLC

Rescuing Leftover Cuisine presents their first-ever food festival fundraiser featuring an evening of food, networking, and community recognitions, happening on Friday, October 9 from 5:00 to 9:00 PM. 

RLC will be joined by many of NYC's locally owned restaurants providing tasting stations throughout the venue, each serving signature bites for guests to enjoy throughout the night. The highlight of the evening will be an awards celebration honoring individuals who have repeatedly gone above and beyond for the community by leading volunteer projects, building cross-sector partnerships, and taking real action on food security, equity, and sustainability. 

Every dollar raised supports RLC's mission to rescue surplus food and get it to New Yorkers who need it most.

Location

Midtown Loft & Terrace — 267 5th Ave, New York, NY 10016

About The Evening

Doors open at 5:00 PM with an exclusive VIP Reception. VIP guests get early access to every tasting station, specialty cocktails, and time with our sponsors and award nominees before the room fills up. General admission begins at 6:00 PM.

From there, the evening moves into the awards program where we take a moment to celebrate and spotlight the people making a real difference in the community. Once the awards wrap, the rest of the night is yours to eat, drink, mingle, and enjoy.

Our Supporters

As a sponsor, these companies are helping to bridge the gap between abundance and hunger. While good food is often thrown away, families and neighbors in our community continue to go without. Their sponsorship enables Rescuing Leftover Cuisine to rescue surplus meals and deliver them with dignity to those who need them most.

See you there.
