Matt James also has a philanthropic history. Inspired by his experience being raised by a single mother, James wanted to help other kids, expanding their horizons and giving them unique opportunities they otherwise would not have had, per Wake Forest Magazine. So, in 2018, he co-founded ABC Food Tours, a non-profit that offers paid tours and also functions as a charity, providing students experiencing food insecurity with positive role models, healthy food, and other benefits. He founded the business with close friend Tyler Cameron, a former teammate at Wake Forest and, of course, the runner-up on Season 15 of "The Bachelorette."

As recounted on the ABC Food Tours website, the organization came to be after James and Cameron got connected with a Lower East Side elementary school and started introducing the students to different restaurants. "The kids were not only learning about different foods, but they were having a blast meeting these business owners, chefs, leaders, and role models," the site reads. "For weeks after the tour, the teachers reached out to Matt and commented on the strong impacts that this experience had on their students."

"I think we don't realize the impact that we're having with these kids," Cameron said in People. "A lot of these kids suffer from homelessness, a lot of them live in the shelters." James told the outlet that ABC Food Tours runs on donations and they also pay out of their own pockets.
