Since 2010, we have supported Pre-K-12 students with Food Education that is part of teachers’ classrooms and fosters informed food choices.
See the Impact
The future of the food system begins here.
Your gift helps students across the country access the hands-on, culturally relevant Food Education they need to become the food system leaders of the future.
Last school year, we saw incredible growth and depth of understanding in our classrooms. All of this impact is only possible through your generosity.
Read our latest impact report to see the results of your support in action!
Your gift in any amount supports Food Education in classrooms and communities throughout the year.

Puprika the Puppy Chef teaches us how the environment is responsible for the healthy growth of our food!
Pilot Light’s third Food Education Standard is “Food and the environment are interconnected.” Students who demonstrate an understanding of this standard can define seasonality, explain its relation to food and distinguish how natural and built environments can affect the seasonality of foods.
FOOD THOUGHTS was originally created in collaboration with @wttwchicago and Cooking Matters. Thanks to all the teachers and families that have welcomed Puprika into your classrooms and homes over the past four years!

#KnifeSkills are #LifeSkills! Teacher Lisa, a PreK Pilot Light teacher in Wilmington, DE, knew that practicing using a knife to cut and spread would help her young learners develop vitally important fine motor skills. Plus, the practice was delicious, resulting in savory cheese and crackers.
Practicing cooking skills in the classroom offers students of all ages the opportunity to connect academics to their real lives in developmentally appropriate ways. Learn more about #FoodEducation and get FREE lessons on our website, pilotlightchefs.org!
