Growing Chefs
Too many kids don’t know where food comes from or have access to healthy, whole food. We’re on a mission to change that. By giving kids space to learn food literacy skills, providing them with delicious and nutritious meals, and engaging them in the food system in a healthy way, we are aiming to: - Empower kids and youth and help them unlock their full potential - Nourish and flourish their health and wellness - Create community connectedness and reduce social isolation - Provide access to food that is good for the body, spirit, and planet Growing Chefs is a registered charity that sends teams of chef and community volunteers into elementary schools—where they grow vegetables, cook with kids, and get the kids excited about eating healthy food.
