Healthy school food is not just a “nice to have” idea for kids. It’s a key solution for nutrition and health concerns and social, academic, and environmental issues.
That’s why the Chef Ann Foundation was founded nearly 15 years ago. Get Schools Cooking is one of the Chef Ann Foundation programs that make the vision of healthy school food a reality.
The most intensive and holistic school food transformation program, Get Schools Cooking is a three-year grant. It includes an onsite assessment, a comprehensive report of recommendations, strategic planning support, technical assistance, networking opportunities, and the opportunity to receive systems assistance funding. You can read more about program details here.
2023 welcomes the fifth cohort of the Get Schools Cooking program. This year’s group stretches from Alaska to Maine. Get to know them here.
