WHO ARE WE

The Patachou Foundation is an anti-hunger organization focused on childhood hunger in Indianapolis. We believe in going beyond serving gap-filling meals by addressing the root causes of hunger, like poverty and access. Through our decade of experience working with schools, we've learned that meeting kids where they are is the most effective way to ensure consistent access.

That's why in 2021, we launched our newest initiative to transform school cafeterias into hunger-fighting machines, PataSchool.

WHAT WE KNOW

1 in 5 children in our community is living with hunger. Families and children rely on school meals to meet their nutritional needs. School meals account for 15% of hunger relief in Indiana and represent 50% of a child's daily calories. That’s what makes PataSchool so impactful for our community.

HOW PATASCHOOL WORKS

The Patachou Foundation believes that solving childhood hunger starts in the school cafeteria. PataSchool leverages our ten years of experience and culinary professionalism to activate school cafeterias to fight hunger, create positive, measurable outcomes and place hunger solutions into communities.

The PataSchool model:

Restores working kitchens in schools
Helps hire and train culinary staff at school partners
Provides free meals to 100% of the student body

Currently, PataSchool provides 270,000 meals to 750 students at our school partners per school year. With continued investment and work, PataSchool can continue to provide access to high-quality meals to students around Indianapolis.

Together, We Can Work To Solve Childhood Hunger in Our Community!
