Chef Ann Foundation
We provide school communities with the tools, training, resources, and funding that enables them to create healthier food and redefine lunchroom environments.
In the early 2000’s, Chef Ann Cooper and her school food colleagues began sharing their experiences and knowledge about how to transform school lunch from processed, heat-and-serve meals to healthy, tasty meals. In 2009, Chef Ann founded the Chef Ann Foundation to support schools that were ready to make the change to scratch cooking.
