Recipe for Success combats childhood obesity and transforms lives by making healthy food fun, tasty,

Recipe for Success Foundation was founded in 2005 by Gracie & Bob Cavnar to combat childhood obesity by changing the way children understand, appreciate and eat their food and educate and mobilize the community to provide them with healthier diets. We are transforming lives by making healthy food fun, tasty, affordable, easy and accessible. We have developed Seed-to-Plate Nutrition Education™, an evidence-based, chef designed, comprehensive, experiential learning program that makes healthy food fun for children. It is now available nationwide through trained and certified Affilate Partners. We promote a tradition of healthy eating with books, multi-media, contests and public awareness campaigns like the VegOut! 30 Ways in 30 Days Challenge each March. And we work to foster urban agriculture and create food access solutions with projects like Hope Farms. We envision a world where healthy eating is the norm and a culture where nutritious food is shared, appreciated, and celebrated.
