Go Eat Give is the only organization of it’s kind that promotes cross-cultural diplomacy, global citizenship, education, and meaningful travel.
IMPACT IN THE UNITED STATES
Educating the public about culture and diversity through Destination Dinners hosted across Atlanta and Washington D.C. We have partnered with over 50 countries to showcase authentic representation of the community and discuss current issues. Topics range from the Lebanon-Syria crisis, how West Africa handled Ebola, to Brazil’s preparation for the upcoming Olympics.
By hosting events at family and immigrant-run ethnic restaurants, we promote small businesses. Food is the easiest way for anyone to break the ice and learn about another culture, and our dinners facilitate an ongoing interest in international learning.
Breaking down barriers and stereotypes by hosting discussions on important topics that affect today’s citizens. We bring thought leaders to present factual content on the religion of Islam and the role of Muslim women in society.
IMPACT ABROAD

Our partner programs benefit throughout the year by receiving awareness, monetary donations, and volunteer hours.
