Local Matters is a 501 (c) (3) organization located in Columbus, Ohio. We believe that food has the power to transform, sustain and build community in Central Ohio, the city of Columbus and the neighborhoods within our city limits.
We believe that we can harness the power of food as an important key to community change. Just as food nourishes the individual’s body and soul, so it is capable of nourishing the neighborhoods we inhabit and the city that our neighborhoods form.
As we gather all of central Ohio around the table of local foods by creating healthy, prosperous connections among rural and urban farmers, families and businesses, Local Matters sees our local food system as a key ingredient to transform our communities. This transformative power of local foods can affect systemic social, economic and environmental change and can have positive impact on the overall health of our region.
