Chef Ann CooperJoin me on my mission to change the way our children are eating. Together, we’ll tackle outdated district spending policies, commodity-based food service organizations, political platforms with no mention of school food or child health — and ultimately the USDA — to ensure that kids everywhere have wholesome, nutritious, delicious food at school.

Sign up for “Ann Alerts” or take the “School Food Challenge” to uncover new ideas, strategies, tips and recipes. Your passion and commitment will help us make a difference for future generations. Keep on fighting the good fight.
