Donate | Growing Chefs!

At Growing Chefs, we believe food is more than just fuel—it’s a powerful way to connect, learn, and build confidence.

When You Give, You Help Kids:

Access Nutritious Food — Your donation gives kids access to nutritious food prepared as a community. In the 2023/2024 school year we served 19,187 meals.

Gain Confidence in the Kitchen — With your support, students learn essential cooking skills, explore new flavors, and discover the joy of preparing and sharing meals.

Build a Stronger Food System — Our hands-on gardening and cooking programs introduce kids to fresh ingredients and inspires the next generation to make connections between food and food systems.
