Healthy Kids First., Inc.

Established in 2013 by NYC-based professional chef Ayesha Renee Gordon, Healthy Kids First is a 501 (c) non-profit designed to educate children and families on a better, healthier approach to food. As a Chef, Ayesha Renee knows the important role food plays in our everyday lives. Food is a way to bring family and friends together, to share good times, and of course, to sustain ourselves. But sadly, for too many children in America, especially those in economically-challenged communities, poor eating habits and malnutrition are at an all-time high. As a result, so is poor health. Now, however, Healthy Kids First has decided to expand its mission in response to a growing problem that plagues vulnerable populations, especially children, nationwide: food insecurity.
