Good Work Austin is building a stronger, more equitable local food system by investing in the people who power it.
Founded in 2019 by Austin restaurant owners during the COVID-19 pandemic, Good Work Austin began as a coalition committed to helping independent restaurants recover while advocating for better workplace practices across the hospitality industry. Today, they are a nonprofit organization that supports both food workers and the businesses that employ them, creating pathways to healthier careers, stronger businesses, and a more resilient local economy.
