Who We Are

The Chef Ann Foundation is dedicated to promoting whole-ingredient, scratch-cooking in schools. Scratch-cooking enables schools to serve the healthiest, tastiest meals so that kids are well-fed and ready to learn.

Our Mission

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.

Why Cooking in Schools Matters

We all want kids to feel and do their best in school. The foods they eat play a critical role in making that happen. But right now, too many kids don’t get the kind of meals they need to succeed. 

Let’s (re)do lunch!
