Chapter Corner

The mission of ACFEF’s Chef & Child initiative is to educate children and families in understanding proper nutrition by providing tools and resources for community-based programs led by American Culinary Federation chef members. There are several ways to get involved:

  • Contact the local Chef & Child chair in your chapter, or be the leader and start a Chef & Child committee in your chapter.
  • Work with community partners to host outreach events with nutrition stations.
  • Partner with a local school or after-school program for demos.
  • Use one of our programs or create your own.
