Beef plays an important role in the diet - But beef in its purest, most nutritious state is not accessible to everyone. We're doing something about that.
We think our role in the community is a lot like the role fresh food plays in the diet. It empowers people, boosts health, and sustains life.
Through our support of programs like Common Threads, we’re working to deliver the same benefits to children, families and communities in under-resourced Chicago communities.
Common Threads believes that healthy food is a human right and that with knowledge and access to healthy foods, we can combat diet-related diseases. Both financially and through our own volunteering, we help them provide cooking and nutrition education to children, parents, and teachers in partnership with school districts and community organizations.
Pre team members work hands on with the next generation of beef geeks, cooking with students in in Chicago area schools with an 85% or greater free or reduced school lunch eligibility. Students learn about the joy of cooking, community, and healthy eating.
Over 118,000 students, parents and teachers reached
More than 750,000 healthy meals and snacks served
1.1 million hours of nutrition education and cooking skills taught….and counting!
“The most important thing I learned was to keep your plate ‘colorful.’ This means you should have a variety of healthy foods on your plate.”
– Diego, Common Threads student
