Founded to address the disconnect between rising childhood obesity rates and the quality of school food, RFFK collaborates with school districts to increase scratch cooking and expand plant-based menu offerings. Programs like Fresh Food Explorers increase vegetable consumption among low-income preschoolers. The Chef Exchange Program pairs school nutritionists with professional chefs to develop healthy school food while the Culinary Challenge encourages middle and high schoolers to do the same. Chefs Feeding Families, launched in partnership with the hospitality industry, provides fresh produce bags to families across the DMV facing nutrition insecurity while supporting Mid-Atlantic farmers. The SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) Ambassadors program trains community members to help eligible residents secure benefits for their families.
