Alliance Honored as "Nonprofit of the Year" at Rescuing Leftover Cuisine's Spring Gala

Our long-time partner Rescuing Leftover Cuisine has secured thousands of delicious fresh meals for Alliance’s Food and Nutrition Services program, so we were thrilled to join their Spring gala in May 2025, where we were honored as their “Nonprofit of the Year.” Alliance Food and Nutrition Program Director Melissa Gallanter and Director of Linkage to Insurance Marcia Deer spoke about the impact these consistent meals have on the people we serve. Our Deputy Executive Director/COO Brenda Starks-Ross and Assistant Director of Development Kristin Lysko were also in attendance.

The gala raised funds for RLC’s great and far-reaching work. During the roughest economic times, RLC has been there for Alliance and hundreds of other organizations that serve vulnerable New Yorkers. Thank you, RLC!
