Jacques Pépin Foundation
Better living through better food for all.
Founded in 2016 by the Pépin family, the Jacques Pépin Foundation strives to enrich lives and strengthen communities through the power of culinary education. Through our efforts to raise awareness about the importance of food and cooking in our daily lives -- including this YouTube channel! -- we hope to inspire future generations of food lovers to discover their own “Happy Cooking” for improved health and well-being.
The JPF also partners with Community Kitchens across the country that provide hands-on culinary training and mentorship to people facing barriers to employment. With our network of grantees and workforce development partners nationwide, we are reaching at-risk youth, veterans, citizens returning from incarceration, and more. Together, we are opening doors to new opportunities and helping to create a more inclusive and equitable society.

Here are a few images from our recent 90/90 Celebration at Gramercy Tavern in New York City! The food, company, and hospitality was exquisite -- not to mention Jacques' beautiful painted menu! Although Jacques won't be in attendance at every 90/90 event, we hope that you can join us at one of our upcoming Celebrations, including virtual events that can be accessed from anywhere! Please visit CelebrateJacques.org to find out more.

On Friday, August 23 the staff of the Jacques Pépin Foundation will be stepping away from their desks and getting out into their communities to volunteer at JPF grantee organizations near them. Our small but mighty (and fully remote!) team will be connecting with program administrators and participants across the country in an effort to grow closer to the important work that JPF grantees do in culinary education every day. Staff will be conducting mock employment interviews, assisting at social enterprise retail outlets, and getting in the kitchen with students -- just like Jacques here at Hot Bread Kitchen in 2018! If you are interested in volunteering at a JPF grantee organization, you can find one near you on on our geographic listing of grantee organizations here: jp.foundation/programs/map/
