American Culinary Federation
Chef & Child Foundation
Our mission:
"To educate children and families in understanding proper nutrition through community-based initiatives led by American Culinary Federation chef members, and to be the voice of the culinary industry in its fight against childhood hunger, malnutrition and obesity."
Overview
Introduction
The purpose of the Chef & Child Foundation, which was founded
in 1989, is to foster, promote, encourage and stimulate an awareness
of proper nutrition in preschool and elementary school children, as
well as combat childhood obesity. The foundation funds programs which
give instruction on nutrition and proper eating habits to school age
children.
The American Culinary Federation Chef & Child Foundation, Inc.,
focuses
on the nutritional development of all of America's children in all
economic
segments. All children need to learn how to cook and how to choose
healthy
foods. With many children living in homes with a single parent or with
both
parents working, children are cooking for their little brothers and
sisters,
and even for themselves and their parents.
If children are cooking, then American Culinary Federation
chefs
want to be involved in their nutritional education. So, please join us
in our
effort to end childhood hunger, and obesity and usher in a healthier tomorrow
for all
children.
The ACFCCF is...
- Professional chefs and cooks teaching pre-school and early
elementary-school kids nutrition with hands-on cooking classes.
- Chefs in service to their local communities.
