Why Rewarding Food is So Fulfilling

"For 20 years Food has been the DNA of my business, community, and personal life...I have forged relationships, inspired participation, and created unbelievably fun food parties for women, kids...and men too!" Carlos, Fun+Advocate Recruiting for Good

Food is comfort, joy, and a sense of well-being...it is enjoyed and shared with family, friends, and community. I am grateful to be in a position to sponsor fun food parties, contests, and now fun purpose driven rewards (Co+Op Feeding LA, and Rewarding Dining Club) for people who participate in Recruiting for Good's referral program) to help fund nonprofits feeding LA.
