World's Largest Dinner Party

On Tuesday, September 15th, Macy’s is launching an innovative national awareness and fundraising campaign to benefit Feeding America, the nation’s leading domestic hunger-relief charity with a mission to feed America’s hungry through a nationwide network of member food banks and to engage the country in the fight to end hunger.
Celebrating the renaissance of cooking at home, Come Together will invite the public to rally around the cause and host special dinners in their homes, but will ask their guests to pledge a donation to Feeding America in lieu of the traditional host gift. In return, Macy’s will match these donations dollar-for-dollar until the total goal of 10 million meals is reached.
At more than 650 Macy’s stores across the country, shoppers will get a taste of this important initiative as Macy’s hosts this World’s Largest Dinner Party event. This kick-off event will have customers join in the “first course” of the nationwide party to celebrate the launch and to educate the public about the effort.
