Can-Do Community: Summer Servings Delivers Big
Our mission in action and other fun nuggets @nevadachefsforkids
Thereβs something extra special about a Cookinβ Up Breakfast morning.
Weβre throwing it back to a memorable breakfast generously prepared by the amazing culinary team from @arialv. Students enjoyed a restaurant-worthy spread featuring an egg muffin, chicken apple sausage, fresh fruit salad, and a sweet, nutritious favorite, banana pancakes served with maple-flavored Greek yogurt.
A heartfelt thank you to the chefs and team members who helped make this morning so special. Your generosity and commitment to our students truly make a difference.

One student summed up the experience perfectly when they said, βItβs like eating at a restaurant.β
That simple comment is a powerful reminder of why Cookinβ Up Breakfast matters so much. For some students, this may be the first time theyβve sat down to enjoy a thoughtfully plated breakfast. These moments build confidence, spark curiosity around healthy foods, and show students that their community cares deeply about them. #chefsforkids #linkinbio #donate #support #nutrition #education #foodsecurity #nevada

At our Farmers Markets the students learn the importance of βeating a rainbowβ and put their taste buds to the test by sampling spinach and arugula seasoned with orange. π
Students described the greens as βcrunchy,β βsoft,β and βflat,β but our favorite reviews were:
π βThis is delicious!β
π βI ate everything!β
Moments like these are why we love helping kids try new foods, build healthy habits, and discover that nutritious choices can be tasty, too!
Way to go, young food adventurers! πβ¨

At our 2026 Dinner & Auction, we were proud to highlight the impact of our scholarship program and recognize this yearβs awardees.
With a vision to support the next generation of culinary talent, we launched our scholarship program in 2024. The Michael Ty Culinary Award has been part of our mission from the very beginning, and over the past three years, weβve proudly awarded seven scholarships to aspiring culinary students.
This year, weβre excited to expand our impact with the addition of the Chefs for Kids Culinary Fund and Rancho High School culinary as our first recipient!
Together, these programs continue to invest in future chefs and create opportunities through education and mentorship. π½οΈβ¨
Meet this yearβs amazing awardees? π #linkinbio #chefsforkids
