A Note of Gratitude: Celebrating Our Partnership with Food Tank

Image

At Great Performances, our mission is simple yet profound: to unleash joy with genuine hospitality. Every event we produce is more than just food and service — it’s a reflection of our ethos, our values, and our commitment to creating spaces where people can connect, dream, and share ideas. That’s why moments of recognition and gratitude, like the heartfelt note below, matter so much. They remind us of the deeper purpose behind what we do and how meaningful partnerships shape our work.

 

The following thank you note captures the spirit of our collaboration with Food Tank during Climate Week — a time when food, sustainability, and community came together in an extraordinary way. We’re honored to share it, because it reflects who we are, what we strive for, and the joy that hospitality can bring.

Lauren, Jenell, April and Liz,

I don’t have words to properly thank the four of you for last week.

Our partnership is truly one of the most special we have with anyone, anywhere.

Thank you for aligning so deeply with our values and sharing our vision. For co-creating a truly astonishing week of culinary experiences, programming, and culture that has no parallel at Climate Week. Thank you for not only embracing the wild ideas we bring your way, but for bringing us your own equally exciting ones to weave in. It’s a dream to have partners we trust so deeply, who are so interconnected with our goals.

I hope we’ll continue dreaming together creating even more events in New York City that bring both light and space for our food and agriculture movements to debate, share ideas, and organize in this (to put it mildly) challenging environment. Food Tank has become the big tent, a home for that, and it is in no small part thanks to you all for making every event we do here feel inviting, special, and like home. People say what makes our Climate Week events different was how much love, passion, and joy goes into every we co-curate. They see that in the care, thought, and mission that goes into every single bite of food that is served.

We threw a crazy week at you haha and honestly it just couldn’t have gone smoother. I realize that the days were long and hard and also in the middle of the High Holidays. Thanks for staying by our side unwaveringly through it all.

Onwards to the next one!

All our love,

Bernie, Dani, Elena and Kenzie

This note is more than gratitude — it’s a reflection of the kind of meaningful partnerships that drive us at Great Performances. We’re proud to co-create with Food Tank and grateful for the opportunity to help advance important conversations around food, agriculture, and sustainability.
