Launched in 2006 by Rachael Ray, Yum-o!® is a nonprofit organization that empowers kids and their families to develop healthy relationships with food and cooking through three main initiatives: Cook, Feed, and Fund.

COOK

Yum-o! educates kids and their families about food and cooking, enabling them to get started in the kitchen with meals that are easy, affordable, nutritious and delicious, of course. We partner with organizations like the Alliance for a Healthier Generation, FoodCorps, and more to dive deeper into cooking, eating, and living a healthier lifestyle.

FEED

Despite living in one of the world’s wealthiest nations, a startling number of Americans go hungry every year. We want to live in a country where every child has access to nutritious food. Yum-o! partners with organizations like No Kid HungryFeeding America, and others to help end childhood hunger in America and to bring more awareness to this issue.

FUND

What better way to help change the way we eat than by educating the next generation of kids? Yum-o! recognizes the wide variety of restaurant and foodservice industry opportunities for young people and helps them reach their food-related career goals by funding scholarships through our partnership with the National Restaurant Association Educational Foundation.
