We Believe in Healthy School Food
The Chef Ann Foundation promotes whole-ingredient, scratch cooking in schools. Scratch cooking enables schools to serve the healthiest, tastiest meals so kids are well-nourished and ready to learn.
As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, we work with public and private schools in all 50 states. Founded in 2009 by Chef Ann Cooper, we celebrate 16 years of advancing school food change.
