"Rethink Food built its name on taking millions of pounds of excess food from grocery stores and restaurants and repurposing it for meals for New York City families at low or no cost. In light of the coronavirus crisis, the nonprofit launched a restaurant response program — separate from Eleven Madison Park’s efforts — that gives up to 30 restaurants up to $40,000 to re-open their doors as a food distribution center. Little Tong Noodle Shop in the East Village was the first recipient of the grant." - Erika Adams
