Stop by the MVCC Green Booth on Sunday July 10th to meet Laura Villasenor of the JAMIE OLIVER FOOD FOUNDATION. Chef Jason Neroni of Osteria La Bucawill join us to do a workshop on preparing a fresh summer watermelon salad. Learn about their fun campaign this summer with local prominent chefs and their restaurants to bring awareness to develop a model for a new school food program to be prepared using fresh, whole ingredients. As we all know, we have a health epidemic here in LA and across America. 1 in 4 kids in LA suffers from childhood obesity!
Community Kitchens In partnership with the American Heart Association, JOFF is establishing a network of community kitchens to run hands -on cooking classes where children and adults learn how to prepare affordable family meals with fresh, whole ingredients.
Flagship Food Truck In association with The California Endowment, this mobile food theatre and working kitchen will drive the grassroots movement on the ground to bring food education and cooking workshops to underserved communities.

Online and Social MediaThe campaign has a live database of hundreds of thousands of people who are ready to engage. A new community website has been launched to capture this community and provide an online hub for the U.S. food movement.
The mission of the Jamie Oliver Food Foundation is to create a national movement that will change the way we eat, to reduce dependency on processed foods and empower Americans to cook. The Jamie Oliver Food Foundation was established to fight obesity and promote better dietary health through food education and cooking skills. JOFF will drive a social movement for cultural change, advocate for better food choices and integrity through the food chain and develop educational programs to promote home cooking, in particular in schools and vulnerable communities.The Foundation was established by the British chef and activist Jamie Oliver after he won the TED Prize in 2010, to support his Food Revolution campaign. At its heart is Jamie’s belief that “no American child should grow up without the basic skills to feed themselves a healthy diet.”
