Jacques Pepin Foundation

Better living through better food for all.

Founded in 2016 by the P?pin family, the Jacques P?pin 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, 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.
