Community

Chef Spike, his family and The Good Stuff team are lucky to work with several local organizations to teach cooking classes, auction our farm table for parties, participate in inspirational talks, cooking demonstrations for special events and gift certificates for raffles. After several years in business we’ve decided to concentrate our efforts on the five groups below as our main philanthropic focus. We encourage you to get involved to strengthen your community with organizations that are close to your heart.

Children’s Inn at National Institute of Health

The Children’s Inn at the National Institutes of Health is a residential "place like home" for sick children and their families. Children come from across the country and around the world to stay together with their families in The Inn’s healing environment while receiving groundbreaking medical treatments at the NIH, the world’s leading biomedical research center. While the NIH takes care of the child’s medical needs, The Inn tends to the child’s heart, soul and spirit.
