NEW YORK, USA – Featuring nearly 1,100 companies and thousands of specialty food products, the Specialty Food Association (SFA) Winter Fancy Food Show ran from January 19-21 at the Las Vegas Convention Center and culminated in an all-hands-on-deck effort to get excess products from the show into the hands of local communities in need.

Exhibitors donated more than 15,000 pounds of surplus specialty food and beverages to Three Square Food Bank, Southern Nevada’s only food bank and largest hunger relief organization, serving four counties–Clark, Lincoln, Esmeralda, and Nye.

“Ending the Winter Fancy Food Show with a food rescue is so meaningful to everyone at the Specialty Food Association and all our exhibitors,” said Jennifer Carney, Director, Tradeshow and Event Operations for SFA.

“Nevada and Las Vegas have been amazing hosts for our shows for many years and it’s an honor to give back to local communities through our partnership with Three Square. We’re grateful to everyone who helped make this food rescue happen.”

The food and beverage donations included plant-based, meat and cheese products, confections, breads, coffee, tea, oils, vinegars, pasta, snacks, and more.

“The Specialty Food Association has once again demonstrated incredible generosity in supporting our neighbors in Southern Nevada,” said Beth Martino, President and CEO of Three Square Food Bank.

“Their donation of 15,181 pounds of food will provide more than 18,000 meals. We are deeply grateful for SFA’s ongoing commitment through the Winter Fancy Food Show each year.

With one in seven individuals in our community facing food insecurity, partners like SFA are essential in sustaining our food rescue efforts.”

SFA’s next trade show, the Summer Fancy Food Show, will also have a food rescue, and will take place June 29-July 1 at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center in New York City. For more information, click here.
