Who taught you how to cook? Where did you learn about healthy choices?
You likely learned from a parent, teacher, or trusted role model in your community.
Today, most kids don't have access to this type of knowledge. The consequence of this gap in knowledge is an obesity epidemic, a 140 billion dollars per year healthcare price-tag, and an entire generation of cooking and food illiteracy.
With your support, we are changing that by ensuring that all children have access to critical food literacy and cooking education programs by training teachers, enrichment educators, community leaders, students, and volunteers to lead the Cookbook Project program in their own communities. Last holiday season, YOU came together and helped us raise over $53,000. With this support we trained over 250 Food Literacy Educators and launched programming more than 30 states reaching a projected 18,000 youth!
Our first impact study demonstrated that 100% of students learned at least 3 new cooking skills and 99% were practicing cooking at home with their families.
With your support, we will train an additional 400 Food Literacy Educators working in your community. If food or cooking is important to you, pledge your support today. Make a gift in honor of someone that taught you how to cook and pay it forward to the next generation of young chefs.
Here is your opportunity to be a part of the solution. Sponsor a Food Literacy Educator (or make a gift in any amount that is meaningful for you and share on social media to multiply your impact).
Thank you for supporting our efforts to spread food literacy at the grassroots level!
