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
Please consider supporting Pilot Light in the new year so that we might continue to support young people as they learn and advocate for informed choices by bridging the lessons they learn in their classrooms to the foods on their lunch trays, at home, and in their communities.
Your gift in any amount supports Food Education in classrooms and communities throughout the year.

Sending a huge shout out to everyone who helped make last week’s first ever Evaluation Summit, For Good Measure, a success! This one-day event brought together 15 Pilot Light Educators from different backgrounds to help our programming team develop evaluation tools & strategies: think of it like an educator’s version of a menu development meeting. 🤔🍽📝 We’re so grateful for the support of our community of educators, as well as our generous sponsors for the event @thespicehouse, @hereheremkt, @hyatt Hyde Park, @raywarriorshp, Dr. Jason Gordon and of course our incredible keynote speaker @sgates113 of @chicagobeyond, who was instrumental in grounding our evaluation work in the framework of #ResearchEquity. Be sure to subscribe to our newsletter (link in bio) to learn more about the summit & all the other latest news from #PilotLightChefs. Photos by @elevinayem, thank you so much!
