Our Solutions #fightchildhoodhunger
Food Fellowship: Providing Opportunity Through Food
The Food Fellowship is a 6-week paid summer program that allows teens to immerse themselves in a hands-on learning experience. Fellows gain invaluable life skills through a food industry lens, including leadership, time management, accountability, collaboration, and communication. During the program, they work alongside culinary, hospitality, and agriculture industry experts, gaining valuable resume-building experience that can open doors to future opportunities.
Pataschool: School meals are hunger-relief
The Patachou Foundation believes that solving childhood hunger starts in the school cafeteria. PataSchool leverages our 10 years of experience and culinary professionalism to activate school cafeterias to fight hunger, create positive, measurable outcomes, and place hunger solutions into communities.
The PataSchool model:
Restores working kitchens in schools
Helps hire and train culinary staff at school partners
Provides free meals to 100% of the student body
Currently, PataSchool provides 270,000 meals to 750 students at our school partners, Circle City Prep & Emma Donnan, per school year. With continued investment and work, PataSchool can continue to provide access to high-quality meals to students around Indianapolis.
