Your generous donation supports a world we all envision – free from chronic disease and food insecurity.  

At Local Matters, we believe everyone should have the knowledge, skills, and resources to eat well and feed their family. Our programming builds skills and knowledge around healthy, affordable food – choosing it, accessing it, and preparing it – so everyone in our community has the resources they need to live a healthier life.

Thank you for supporting Local Matters. Your generosity provides high-quality, hands-on education for thousands of families across Central Ohio, and ensures that neighborhoods across Columbus have consistent access to fresh, affordable food.
