The Awards
Food Tank and the James Beard Foundation have just released the third annual Good Food Org Guide , which features 1,000 nonprofit organizations creating a better food system across the United States–and we are included!
With the help of an advisory board of food system experts, Food Tank and the James Beard Foundation created this definitive guide to feature nonprofit organizations that are creating a better food system. Download the guide for free: http://bit.ly/GFOG2016.
We received a 2016 Light a Fire award in the category of Best New Nonprofit! Portland Monthly’s Light a Fire awards honor the hardworking nonprofit organizations and individuals whose extraordinary acts of service embody the Portland spirit of giving to make our region more prosperous, beautiful, healthful, and sustainable.
We are working to use the “bounce” from these awards to create more sustainability in our programming. To that end, please, never hesitate to contact us with your ideas, connections, feedback, or questions.
