What We Do

At Chefs for Humanity, we are taking on hunger, obesity and providing help to those in emergency conditions by generating awareness, raising funds and rallying volunteers. Hunger is a constant threat, both overseas and here at home and all too frequent disasters remind us how easily our neighbors and friends can fall into desperate, life-threatening circumstances. Obesity too, in our country, has risen to epidemic proportions and must be addressed.

CFH Program Areas

Hunger Relief There are nearly one billion hungry people in the world --more than the combined populations of USA, Canada and the European Union. 98% of the world’s hungry live in developing countries with the least resources to tackle this challenging problem.

Nutrition Education Helping children make healthy food choices is an essential ingredient for instilling good habits to last a lifetime. Parents and caregivers can teach good nutrition by involving kids in making healthy, nutritious snacks and meals.

Disaster Response Floods, famine, hurricanes and war affect all of us. Events like Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans and the earthquakes in Haiti brought devastation to many. Helping to ensure immediate access to water, food and nutrition is one way  Chefs for Humanity provides help to others in time of great need.

Making A Difference

	CFH Brings WFP Clean Cooking Stoves to Haiti Thanks to Chefs’ cookstove donation and food provided by WFP, kids in Haiti can proudly show their lunch plates, often their first meal of the day. School meals help children concentrate, learn and grow. The meals also provide an incentive for poor parents to send their children to school and to keep them in school.
	Let's Move Initiates Chefs Move to Schools Program Cat Cora and chefs from across the country are answering Mrs. Obama's call to get involved with their local schools as part of the Chefs Move to Schools initiative, run through the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The First Lady is calling on chefs to get involved by adopting a school and working with teachers, parents, school nutritionists and administrators to help educate children and show that nutrition can be fun.
	Hurricane Katrina Relief In the aftermath of the one of the most severe natural disasters to hit the United States, Chefs for Humanity reacted quickly to provide support to those affected in the gulf coast region. With the help of an amazing group of women from Gulfport, MS, CFH helped feed local evacuees and volunteer emergency workers thousands of meals over a 3 week period.
