What better way to fight hunger than with an apron, the uniform of a cook?

ABOUT ‘COOKS WHO FEED’
FIGHTING HUNGER BY REDUCING FOOD WASTE
The model for Cooks Who Feed is 1 apron = 100 meals. This means, for every apron sold, 100 nutritious meals are provided to those in need, through partnerships with charitable organizations that rescue surplus food to provide immediate hunger relief. Over 1/3 of profits go to charity partners to fulfill the 1 apron = 100 meals model.
Each apron is ethically produced, supporting underprivileged women in India by giving them fair trade employment. All Cooks Who Feed apron production takes place in Delhi, India with a focus to hire women who live in poverty and provide them with a safe work environment, paid training, a living wage, and income security.

“The intersection of education, hospitality and passion at which the SCS Staff live and work is phenomenal, and the dedication and care that they each bring to every aspect of their role at the Chefs School is the reason that this institution is so special. I’ve learned so very much about this industry and about life while I’ve been here, but the biggest lesson I will take away from any of this is the importance of giving a damn. All of you give a damn, and it has changed lives at this place since 1983.”
Jonathon Farrell | Stratford Chefs School Class of 2023 Valedictorian
“The Stratford Chefs School provides the training to create world-class chefs who are comfortable working in any kitchen environment. Its immersive, approachable, interactive curriculum provided me with the tools and confidence that I needed early on in my career to make the transition from the school setting to the workforce. Perhaps most important to me are the lasting friendships that were made, the ongoing support from the SCS community, and exciting collaborations with other alumni.”
Alondra Galvez | Owner/Chef, El Cactus Taco Shop | Stratford Chefs School Class of 2003
“The Stratford Chefs School offers an unparalleled learning environment in which students are immersed in a hands-on, realistic approach of what to expect in the culinary industry. My experience at the Stratford Chefs School exposed me to various cuisines, a limitless spectrum of cooking techniques, and an opportunity to work directly with renowned chefs. The calibre of the instructors, and their cumulative experience in the field, laid the foundation on which I could build the confidence I needed in order to pursue my career path.”
Yva Santini | Chef, The Flour Mill, St. Marys | Stratford Chefs School Class of 2009
“At the Chefs School, I was given the opportunity to challenge myself, and expand the limits of my culinary skill and knowledge. SCS gave me the ability to trust in my own skill and allowed me to expand my knowledge. Now I confidently pass that skill and knowledge to my students.”
