Harlem Children's Zone

Harlem Children's Zone is a world- renowned non-profit that is breaking the cycle of generational poverty for more than 28,000 children and adults in Central Harlem. We build a strong foundation of health and well-being for our children every day by making sure they eat nutritional, well-balanced meals. Under the expert supervision of Chef Andrew, our amazing Food Services team makes 1.45 million meals each year, 96% from scratch and all low in salt, fat, and sugar.

The team provides a freshly made breakfast, lunch, and snack each school day to the 2,000+ youth at our two Promise Academy® Charter Schools and our four Harlem Gems® pre-kindergarten sites. In keeping with our goal not only to help our kids eat healthy but also to introduce them to a variety of foods, staff create meals that reflect the cultural diversity of our families and a wide range of culinary traditions. Our schools also offer a salad bar with an expansive selection of ever-changing options, from greens and fresh vegetables to innovative side dishes prepared in house.
