Partner Spotlight: Rachael Ray Foundation

Celebrity chef Rachael Ray is a vocal champion for child nutrition. Rachael has used her national platform to shine a light on the impact of food education and the policies that matter to school nutrition and education leaders. She boosted FoodCorps’ advocacy for legislation tied to Child Nutrition Reauthorization—and later, the Build Back Better Act, in an op-ed co-penned with FoodCorps’ co-founder and CEO Curt Ellis. In 2021 the Rachael Ray Foundation helped seed new FoodCorps-supported policy work in key states where we operate. “Rachael has gone to bat for kids’ health time and again,” Curt says. “I’m honored to count her as an ally for school communities.”

Partner Spotlight: Walmart Foundation

“We’re excited about this investment because of FoodCorps’ continued focus on advancing racial equity as an organization and commitment to culturally relevant food programming,” said Eileen Hyde, senior director of community resilience, Walmart.org. “The direct service model in schools has proven outcomes of reaching kids and changing behaviors around healthy eating, and FoodCorps’ approach and broad reach will have tremendous impact.”
