Building Healthier Communities

Local Matters creates healthier communities through food education, food access, and food advocacy. We build skills through inclusive education, expand access to fresh and affordable foods, and advocate for policies that support food security, including food waste education and diversion efforts through Columbus Food Rescue.

Despite our accomplishments, thus far, we’re just getting started. Will you join us on this journey? Click here to donate today.

We work with partners to reinforce infrastructure that connects people to food, no matter their zip code or circumstance.
