FoodNiche Health Forum to Convene Community Leaders for High-Impact Collaboration and Knowledge Exchange

NEW BRUNSWICK, N.J. - Rezul -- FoodNiche Health Forum will convene changemakers and leaders of  community-based organizations, healthcare leaders, social impact funders and government stakeholders for thought-provoking conversations and networking for higher community impact.

The FoodNiche Health Forum will take place on September 24, 2026, at Rutgers University New Brunswick

According to reports published by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, more than 50% of Americans struggle with preventable chronic disease that is associated with poor eating patterns, a complex problem that needs tackling. The Forum is centered around improving community health through enhanced nutrition intervention and improved food access.

The 2026 FoodNiche Health Forum will create a space for leaders across sectors to examine these challenges together and identify actionable pathways forward.

The Forum will feature leaders representing healthcare, food security, economic development, and community organizations, including representatives from AmeriHealth Caritas, the Community FoodBank of New Jersey, the New Jersey Economic Development Authority, Middlesex County, the Office of the Food Security Advocate, FoodNiche Institute, and Care Center of New Jersey.

For nonprofit organizations, food-access programs and community leaders working every day to address hunger and improve health, the Forum offers an opportunity not only to learn but also to connect with potential collaborators, funders and institutional partners.

Food insecurity cannot be solved by one organization or sector alone.

The FoodNiche Health Forum aims to facilitate those connections.
