Childhood Nutrition Day
Celebrate ACF’s Childhood Nutrition Day and International Chefs Day during the month of October and help spread awareness about the need for education about proper nutrition and obesity issues. Since the campaign’s launch in 1995, thousands of chefs across the nation have participated in events within their local communities to feed hungry children, and foster and promote awareness of proper nutrition. This year’s theme is GROWING GREAT CHEFS.
Take the Pledge!
In celebration of Childhood Nutrition Day (October 16) and International Chefs Day (October 20), we hope that you will consider hosting an event in your local community this October. Together, we can all help plant the seeds of nutrition in the minds of children across the United States! Send your participation turnout information to ChefandChildInitiative@acfchefs.org.
Helpful information to provide includes:
- Date of your event
- How many chefs in attendance
- How many children
- Pictures or video clips from your event; please remember to be mindful of the privacy of children and don’t include pictures with faces visible
