OUR PROGRAMS

Our Schools Program:
KIDS E.A.T. 4 LIFE

Cooking With Gabby’s E.A.T. 4 LIFE Program—Education, Activity, and Total Health—is offered in Los Angeles schools where it connects cooking with literacy, social-emotional learning, and parent engagement to support the whole child.

Our program combines hands-on cooking with activities that boost literacy, math, exercise, dance, and social-emotional learning, helping students develop essential skills like measuring ingredients, and collaborating in teams. Family involvement is key, fostering community connections and deepening students’ understanding of food’s cultural significance.

Food Assurance Program

Cooking With Gabby’s Food Assurance Program is dedicated to ensuring that no child goes hungry and that every meal they receive is healthy and nutritious. This program is more than just a food kitchen. Cooking With Gabby knows that being able to ensure food on your table is invaluable to a parent or caring family member.

Dedicated to ensuring that no child goes hungry

The meals you provide are so much more than food. They are a gift of love, care, and dignity. Each warm, fresh, and nutritious meal means the WORLD to me as a mother knowing that my children are eating something wholesome and made with such heart.”
