Chef Ann Foundation

The Chef Ann Foundation works to ensure that school food professionals have the resources, funding and support they need to provide fresh, healthy, delicious, cook from scratch meals that support the health of children and our planet. We do this by actively supporting school districts through professional development and implementation grants, including free resources and tools for change.

More than 31 million children eat school lunch every day and due to labor shortages school food has become increasingly more processed (heat-and-serve) and less healthy. Scratch cooking uses real food with real ingredients and has the potential to catalyze multiple benefits across the food system.
