Our History:

Chef’s Heart began as a student-led school club in Minneapolis, created by a group of passionate high schoolers who wanted to make a difference in their community. They began by preparing and delivering sandwiches to local food shelters, learning that even small efforts could have a big impact. The club quickly became a space for students to step into leadership, practice compassion, and address food insecurity firsthand.
Chef’s Heart has grown into a larger initiative that continues to be powered by student volunteers. While we still serve shelters, we’ve expanded our reach through culturally inspired Meal Kits, designed to give families facing food insecurity the tools to cook affordable, nutritious meals at home. What started as a handful of students serving their city has evolved into a movement that empowers young leaders to initiate change and nourish their communities.
