Good Projects
In Good Company works in communities from coast to coast
We focus on three key issues: healthy food systems, environmental restoration, and rebuilding after natural disasters. Since 2008, more than 50 companies have volunteered in 8 communities with 28 community partners.
Bronx
In the Bronx, unemployment rates are high, graduation rates are low, and rates of asthma and diabetes are above the national average.
Central Valley
California’s Central Valley grows 25% of the nation’s food, and crops worth an estimated $17 billion per year, but Tulare County in the southeast valley is described as a food desert.
Gulf Coast
Like rain forests and coral reefs, wetlands are some of the most beneficial ecosystems in the world, but Louisiana wetlands are disappearing at a rate of roughly the size of a football field every hour.
Hopi
The Hopi nation perches on three rocky, arid Arizona mesas, 5,700 feet in the air.
New Orleans
In 2005 Hurricane Katrina wreaked havoc from Florida to Texas, but no place suffered more than Louisiana.
Oakland
The Oakland Seaport started up in 1927, and Oakland is now the fifth busiest container port in the U.S., but growth has taken a toll.
OHIO RIVER
The Ohio River is one of the most polluted in the U.S. It transports 260 million tons of cargo each year, and serves as the drinking water source for more than 5 million people.
Stanislaus
A hunter’s illegal fire in 2013 destroyed more than 250,000 acres in Stanislaus National Forest and Yosemite National Park (that’s 8 times the size of San Francisco).
