Good Food Makes a Difference!

The Local’s programs and services are guided by the Right to Food’s Good Food Principles:

Take action from the individual to the systemic level

We work to create many entry points for community members: from meeting basic needs to empowering people to choose, grow, and cook good food, to creating opportunities to get involved with the big-picture issues that affect our community.

Invest in the power of good food

We strive to make good food a priority and to provide food through our programs that is delicious, healthy, sustainably produced, and pleasurable to eat.

Create an environment of respect and community leadership

We provide opportunities for community members to use their strengths and contribute as volunteers and leaders.

Meet people where they’re at

We avoid making assumptions about community members’ skills and goals. And we work with them toward the changes that they want to make, focusing on celebrating achievements big and small along the way.

Aim high for our organization and our community

Our programs are designed based on current research and the growing body of knowledge from the community food sector. And we make sure that our partners have enough resources to create a positive impact. To stay accountable to our community, we are committed to measuring and communicating the impact of our work.

Good food changes everything.

We count on donors like you to keep our doors open, our tables full, and our gardens growing. Every gift makes a real difference in someone’s life.
