Lovin' Spoonfuls Virtual 10th Annual Ultimate Tailgate Party

Boston-based food rescue Lovin' Spoonfuls will host their 10th annual Ultimate Tailgate Party online this year on Wednesday, November 18. The virtual program will begin at 7PM and features a timely keynote on the intersection of food justice and racial equity from Wes Moore, CEO of the Robin Hood Foundation.

For the first time in the event’s history, tickets to Tailgate are free, however registration is required and can be done by visiting LovinSpoonfulsInc.org. TV personality, chef, social justice advocate and Lovin’ Spoonfuls Culinary Panel member Andrew Zimmern returns as this year’s master of ceremonies. In addition to a musical performance from Lake Street Dive, Spoonfuls will also debut its new video highlighting the efforts of frontline workers during the COVID-19 pandemic.

This year’s free virtual program will feature beneficiary and supporter stories, entertainment and donation opportunities; Ultimate Tailgate is the biggest yearly fundraiser for New England’s largest food rescue organization.

Proceeds raised during the event will enable Spoonfuls’ ongoing efforts to rescue an average of 75,000-80,000 pounds of fresh, healthy food per week and distribute it to organizations across the Commonwealth that serve people facing food insecurity.
