City of Good

Founded in 2020 as schools and restaurants were closing, City of Good united local restaurants and growers to provide fresh, nutritious meals to children in the Boise School District, all while helping to keep culinary workers employed. Taking what was learned in the crisis, City of Good has expanded its focus to include helping food insecure members of our community, supporting local businesses, and promoting a sustainable food system. To date City of Good has delivered more than 90,000 meals to food insecure neighbors in Boise, 30,000 pounds of local produce to local pantries, and more than 15,000 meals to refugees resettling in Boise. City of Good also runs Cafe Shakespeare, the sole food provider for the Idaho Shakespeare Festival. We present a 100% locally sourced menu, providing consistent revenue for local producers and illustrating what it means to eat local for all of the Festival guests.
