Build with us to end hunger
$2,300,000 Raised
$6,000,000 Goal
More than 16,000 households in DeKalb County worry about having enough to eat.
These are your neighbors: the young family you saw at the park, the elderly lady who smiled at you in church, the cheerful barista who drew a smiley face on your coffee cup.
Since 2012, you have helped Rooted For Good address hunger and combat the root causes of poverty in our community.
Together, we’ve made a tremendous impact. But there is more work to do. Will you continue to partner with us?
We have a plan that will dramatically increase our ability to end hunger, empower individuals, and grow community.

The Rooted For Good Campus:
Gathering resources to fight hunger throughout DeKalb CountyToday, Rooted For Good fulfills our mission from a patchwork of rented spaces. We’ve purchased land to build a home base that will allow us to work more efficiently as we grow to meet our neighbors’ needs.
The Rooted For Good Campus will be built on 8 acres of undeveloped land on North Annie Glidden Road in DeKalb.

Living our mission to end hunger, empower individuals, and grow community
Your gift goes beyond helping your neighbors eat tonight. You’re fighting food insecurity at its roots. The Rooted For Good Campus puts every part of our mission in action.
Help us secure the future
Your gift builds more than a campus. It builds a future for Rooted For Good and for all the neighbors we impact.
This campus makes our mission more sustainable, securing our ability to fund our operations well into the future. Through garden center sales and event space rentals, we can establish stable sources of revenue to supplement the generosity of future donors.
Your gift to the future of your community
Even with the limitations of our current infrastructure, we fed more than 30,000 people in 2024 alone. Imagine what we could do if we had a centralized campus designed to address the root causes of hunger.
A donation to the Rooted For Good campus is an investment in the long-term health and prosperity of DeKalb County.
Building is planned in two phases. With your help, we can break ground on our first phase in 2026.
It will take our whole community to bring this to life. Every donation grows us closer to the goal.
