FOODSERVICE TRAINING & JOB PLACEMENT PROGRAM
Create Common Good (CCG) is a 501(c)3 nonprofit whose goal is to empower adults with barriers to employment through foodservice skills training and job placement assistance. Barriers to employment can be overcome by gaining confidence through development of valuable job skills. Through our wholesale business-to-business food manufacturing, we generate sustainable, repeatable revenue making us less reliant on grants and donations and allowing us to model the self-sufficiency we teach.

Create Common Good is becoming a program of City of Good!

WHY ARE THESE TWO ORGANIZATIONS MERGING?
City of Good (CoG) and Create Common Good (CCG) have complimentary missions and services with a focus on building a sustainable food system that serves all of our neighbors. By joining efforts we can complete a Circle of Good with workforce development integrated across food production and distribution programs; sharing administrative and fundraising staff; and expanding resources. We will be stronger together.
After months of research and discussions, both boards voted unanimously to merge. The merger process is underway and, on January 1st, will be complete.

WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO CCG PROGRAMS?
We are committed to maintaining and expanding the exceptional training programs, workforce development, and food production that CCG has spent many years building and refining. CCG’s programs and staff will continue but under the heading of CoG.
HOW WILL THIS CHANGE OPERATIONS?
​This merger is an expansion of programs with the benefit of a team of professional staff. We’re gaining years of experience, technical knowledge, facilities, equipment, and relationships. Since our founding, serving those in the kitchen has been at the center of our programming and vision. By joining with CCG, we are able to integrate workforce development and training into our food production and distribution programs. We will also be combining our fundraising efforts, which should yield efficiencies greater impact.
