Check out the scenes from the November 3rd, 2019 event at Cruiseport Boston.


On Sunday, November 3rd, 2019, the 9th annual Ultimate Tailgate Party to benefit Lovin’ Spoonfuls (presented by Whole Foods Market) raised over $450,000 – a new record for Lovin’ Spoonfuls’s primary, yearly fundraiser.

Held at Cruiseport Boston, the sold-out event drew over 450 guests to support Boston’s first, and Massachusetts’ largest, food rescue agency. Award-winning chef and TV host, Andrew Zimmern, returned as this year’s master of ceremonies.

Going into its 10th year, Lovin’ Spoonfuls rescues and delivers roughly 80,000 pounds of food to those in need each week.
