Chefs for Kids is on a mission to alleviate malnutrition and hunger in children through education and awareness. It is a CCSD-sanctioned nutrition education program going directly into Title I schools in Southern Nevada. Each year the selected schools receive the nonprofit’s Healthy Eating Education Program focusing on three key initiatives:
● Nutrition Education: 40 minutes of in-class instruction per month delivered to third grade students by our partnered nutrition educators at the University of Nevada, Reno Extension. Lessons are called ‘Produce Pick of the Month.’
● Cookin’ Up Breakfast: Once per year, each school receives a free healthy breakfast for the entire student body and faculty, prepared and served by chefs from the community and our partners at ACF Chefs Las Vegas.
● Holiday Helpings:. Aims to alleviate hunger during holiday breaks with nutritious snacks.. At the start of Thanksgiving, Winter, Spring and Summer breaks, students deemed high risk of not receiving enough food get a $50 grocery gift card, and a bag with our healthy eating hero messaging "Fruits are Marvelous" and "Vegetables are Super" filled with fresh veggies and fruits.
The program aims to teach children about the benefits of healthy food choices and importance of physical activity. Volunteers donate more than 3,000 hours yearly to prepare and serve breakfasts for children each school year and raise funds to support this program.
