DeKALB – Rooted for Good is a nonprofit organization that gives people access to healthy and sustainably-sourced foods through its mobile food pantry truck that brings groceries throughout DeKalb County.
Other than the mobile food pantry, Rooted for Good hosts “pay-as-you’re-able” community dinners, a food pantry in Genoa, a prairie restoration project and summer camps.
The organization also provides volunteering opportunities for community members as well as real-world job training for adults with developmental disabilities.
The food distributions are free and open to all with no limits.
