Tabe to Table Fighting Hunger

Heather Thompson is the Executive Director of Table to Table, a New Jersey nonprofit that bridges the gap between food waste and food insecurity by mobilizing refrigerated trucks and volunteers to rescue fresh surplus food – the equivalent of 25+ million meals annually - and deliver it directly to pantries, shelters, and other community agencies.

Prior to joining Table to Table in 2024, Heather served as Chief Development Officer for anti-poverty nonprofit Norwescap; she has also held leadership roles at nonprofit organizations Eva’s Village, Park Avenue Armory, and Citymeals-on-Wheels, and has provided pro-bono consulting support to multiple nonprofits in NY and NJ.

Heather holds a Bachelor’s degree from University of Michigan and professional certificates in nonprofit leadership and finance from NYU and Cornell. She serves on the Board of the National Food Recovery Association, is Board Secretary for the Meadowlands YMCA, and is the Vice Chair of the Bergen County Food Security Advisory Board.
