Glennon Trade Joins the 2026 Feeding New York State Member Summit: Connect With Us in Rochester
Food sourcing works best when strong partnerships are behind it. That is one reason we are excited to share that Glennon Trade will be attending the 2026 Feeding New York State Member Summit.
The Summit takes place June 8, 9, and 10, 2026 in Rochester, New York, at the Hyatt Regency Rochester and Riverside Convention Center. It brings together food banks from across the state to connect, learn, and share ideas that help improve operations and strengthen hunger relief efforts.
For our team, this event is a valuable chance to be part of important conversations around food sourcing, logistics, partnerships, and practical ways to support the organizations doing critical work in communities across New York. We are looking forward to meeting attendees, listening to what teams need most, and talking through solutions that can help make sourcing more consistent and manageable.
Why the Feeding New York State Member Summit Matters
The Feeding New York State Member Summit is designed to bring food banks across New York together for real collaboration. It is a space for professionals to network, compare strategies, and build stronger systems that support hunger relief statewide.
The event includes:
Workshops
Presentations
Tours
Planning sessions
These sessions focus on practical ideas, partnerships, and ways to strengthen the statewide network. That matters because hunger relief depends on more than supply alone. It also depends on communication, coordination, and dependable partnerships across the food system.
When food banks, sourcing partners, and service organizations come together, they can solve problems faster and share ideas that lead to better outcomes. Events like this help move that work forward.
Glennon Trade’s Role in the Conversation
At Glennon Trade, we work closely with organizations that need dependable food sourcing support. We understand that many teams are balancing tight timelines, storage limits, budget requirements, and the daily demands of serving their communities.
That is why we are excited to join the conversation at the Summit.
Our focus is on helping simplify the sourcing side of the process. We support organizations with solutions that help reduce friction and improve reliability, whether that means identifying available product, coordinating supply options, or helping teams think through pallet-based purchasing strategies.
We also know that every operation is different. A solution that works well for one organization may not be the right fit for another. The Summit gives us an opportunity to have those one-on-one conversations and better understand what food banks and partner organizations are seeing on the ground.
Stop by Our Booth
If you are attending the 2026 Feeding New York State Member Summit, we would love to connect.
Please stop by the Glennon Trade booth to talk with our team about:
Sourcing support
Nourish NY
Pallet program solutions
Product availability
These conversations are often the most useful part of an event like this. They give teams a chance to ask specific questions, explore options, and talk through what could work best for their operations.
Whether you are looking for ways to streamline sourcing, expand program support, or better understand current product opportunities, we are happy to talk.
Let’s Talk About Sourcing Support
Reliable sourcing can have a direct impact on how smoothly an operation runs. When products are easier to access and logistics are more manageable, food banks and partner organizations can spend less time dealing with supply issues and more time focused on serving people.
At the Summit, we are looking forward to conversations about how sourcing support can help organizations:
Plan more effectively
Navigate product needs with greater confidence
Improve coordination
Reduce unnecessary complexity
Strengthen day-to-day operations
We believe sourcing should support the mission, not slow it down. That idea continues to guide how we work with partners across the food supply chain.
Connect With Us About Nourish NY
We are also excited to speak with attendees about Nourish NY.
Programs like Nourish NY play an important role in connecting local food to the organizations that need it most. They also create opportunities to support producers while helping food banks and institutions access products that align with program goals.
At Glennon Trade, we understand how valuable it is to have a partner that can help make the process more straightforward. If you are attending the Summit and want to talk about current or future Nourish NY needs, our team would be glad to connect.
These discussions can include:
Program fit
Product options
Coordination needs
Operational considerations
Opportunities to support local sourcing goals
Explore Pallet Program Solutions
For many organizations, pallet-based purchasing can offer a practical path to greater consistency and efficiency. It can help simplify ordering, improve planning, and support higher-volume operations.
That is why we are looking forward to discussing pallet program solutions at the Summit.
If your team is exploring ways to build a more predictable sourcing strategy, pallet programs may be part of the answer. At our booth, we can talk through what those options look like and how they may support your organization’s needs.
We know that factors like volume, storage, product mix, and delivery timing all matter. A useful sourcing conversation should take those details into account. Our team is ready to have that conversation with attendees throughout the event.
Ask About Product Availability
Product availability is always top of mind, especially for organizations managing changing demand and planning across multiple programs.
At the Summit, we welcome conversations about current and upcoming product availability. If your organization is looking for specific categories or trying to think ahead, stop by and talk with us. We are happy to discuss what is available and where Glennon Trade may be able to help.
These booth conversations can be a good starting point for future planning. Even a short discussion can help identify opportunities, answer questions, and open the door to stronger coordination after the event.
A Shared Commitment to Hunger Relief
What makes the Feeding New York State Member Summit especially valuable is its focus on shared purpose. Food banks across New York are doing essential work, and that work depends on strong systems and trusted relationships.
Glennon Trade is proud to be part of that broader effort.
We believe that partnerships matter. Clear communication matters. Dependable sourcing matters. When those pieces come together, they help organizations serve communities more effectively and strengthen hunger relief efforts across the state.
That is why we are glad to take part in an event centered on practical ideas, collaboration, and statewide impact.
