    • Rachael Ray formed Yum-o!® as a way to use food and her love of cooking to give back to the world.

    Today’s kids and their families are pressed for time. Many don’t know how to cook or assemble basic meals, or are simply too busy and tired to spend much time in the kitchen. In addition, easy access to inexpensive food with low nutritional value has caused eating habits to deteriorate. Fortunately, most kids and parents are eager to make better food choices if given the necessary tools.

    Cook. Feed. Fund.

    Through our three core work areas of Cook, Feed and Fund,
    Yum-o! educates kids and their families about food and cooking by enabling young cooks to get started in the kitchen and try out family-friendly recipes; teams up with partner organizations to feed hungry children; and funds educational opportunities for kids who are interested in pursuing careers in the restaurant and foodservice industry.

    Eating habits are formed at a young age and, if kids are given opportunities and knowledge, they will make better food choices. Yum-o! envisions a country where all kids experience the joys of cooking, and eating, nourishing food.
