Goodr Founder Introduces New Community Market

Jasmine Crowe-Houston, the visionary founder of Goodr, continues to redefine food justice and hunger relief through innovation. Driven by the mission to “feed more, waste less,” her Atlanta-based company tackles hunger and food waste simultaneously. Now, with the launch of the Edgewood Community Market and Little Loaf Deli, Crowe is taking her impactful work even further.

“I started cooking for people experiencing homelessness when I first moved to Atlanta in 2013,” Crowe-Houston shared. Her efforts began with pop-up kitchens, but a viral video showcasing one event revealed a deeper issue. “It showed me that there was something lacking in how people were served—and it was really dignity,” she explained. This realization became the foundation for Goodr, a tech-powered logistics company that connects businesses with surplus food to local nonprofits.

The Edgewood Community Market exemplifies Crowe-Houston’s commitment to accessibility and compassion. The market offers fresh produce, meats, and even $10 meal bags designed to feed a family of four. “We want to make food affordable and accessible for everyone, without compromising on quality,” Crowe-Houston said. Additionally, the market serves 200 families monthly for free, ensuring that no one is left behind. “You’ll never know who those families are because everyone uses a loyalty account. It’s all about dignity.”

Beyond groceries, the Little Loaf Deli introduces affordable dining to the community. “We offer meals for as low as $6, and seniors can grab meals for just $5,” Crowe-Houston noted. She emphasized that these initiatives are built on a community-driven model, illustrating how businesses and nonprofits can work together for long-term solutions.

With over 40 million meals served through Goodr, Crowe-Houston’s impact is undeniable. Her innovative approach doesn’t just address hunger—it empowers communities. “I want to make sure that nobody in this city goes to bed hungry,” she affirmed.

Jasmine Crowe-Houston’s work is not just about food; it’s about justice, equity, and hope. With the Edgewood Community Market, she’s planting seeds for a brighter future.
