\"\"<\/a>Rachael Ray has been a rising star for quite some time, starting as a celebrity chef, and graduating into the syndicated daytime TV world. In 2006, the ambitious Ray launched a nonprofit organization called Yum-o!, which helps kids and their families develop healthy relationships with food and cooking<\/a>. This is done in a three-pronged approach – “Cook, Feed and Fund.” Here is how they break down:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

1. Healthy Cooking<\/strong><\/p>\n

In the cooking initiative of Yum-o!, kids and their families are taught to exude confidence in the kitchen and to start cooking freshly prepared meals<\/a>.<\/p>\n

2. Feeding Hungry American Kids<\/strong><\/p>\n

While we often think about feeding the hungry in the third world, there are plenty of young people who go to bed hungry here in the U.S. According to a 2005 USDA study, nearly 13 million kids did not have access to enough food to meet their basic nutritional needs. Yum-o! is partnering with other organizations to end childhood hunger in America.<\/p>\n

3. Funding Cooking Education and Scholarships<\/strong><\/p>\n

Chefs are no longer just anonymous people in the kitchen, but bigger-than-life personalities on television. Yum-o! helps kids who want to pursue a career in the culinary arts by funding scholarships.<\/p>\n
