The 250 Challenge: Raise $250 every day in July! 🍊💧
Your donation supports nutrition lessons like Hydrating Through the Rainbow.
"Grapefruit is my favorite!" - said one happy taster
We visited schools during parent nights in 2025-26 with a hydration station bursting with fresh flavors! Families sampled a crisp crudité featuring hydrating fruits and veggies, then took home produce-packed bags with recipes and hydration tips to help boost their daily water intake.
The juicy results:
🥒 6,800 fresh produce snack opportunities distributed through take-home bags
🍊🥬 541 tastings of spinach, grapefruit, and cucumber
💦 Countless smiles, new favorite snacks, and healthy hydration habits inspired
Every bite was a splash of nutrition, proving that healthy choices can be fresh, fun, and delicious! Your gift expands this opportunity in 2026-27!

Can-Do Community: Summer Servings Delivers Big
There’s something extra special about a Cookin’ Up Breakfast morning.
We’re 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.
#thankyou❤️ #chefsforkids #nevada
One student summed up the experience perfectly when they said, “It’s like eating at a restaurant.”
That simple comment is a powerful reminder of why Cookin’ Up Breakfast matters so much. For some students, this may be the first time they’ve 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
BEET-ing expectations! 💜 Summer Servings helped us deliver:
🍓 140 bags of fresh fruits and vegetables
🥫 140 bags of canned produce and pantry essentials
That`s hundreds of smiles, healthier meals, and stronger communities all thanks to @ktnv and its 13 Connects partner, @edwardmbernstein! 🥕💚
