Get Your Good Food Guide

The James Beard Foundation and Food Tank have joined forces to create their first Good Food Org Guide. The 71-page downloadable guide highlights nonprofit organizations that are doing exemplary work in the US in the areas of food and agriculture, nutrition and health, hunger and obesity, and food justice. Only nonprofit, scholarly and municipal initiatives have been selected in order to spotlight efforts that are focused on community building and engagement, advocacy and service. 

You can learn about cool websites like Civil Eats, which publishes stories to promote conversation around the sustainable food movement, or Food Recovery Network, which is working with colleges and universities to donate unused food to local food banks.

The bulk of the guide is the state-by-state listings. Here you can find organizations, websites and more that exist across your state. Many offer opportunities for education, volunteering and community involvement. You just might be surprised at what’s going on in your state—check it out.
