↑ 5%Joining forces: ButcherBox and Chef Ann Foundation team up to "Raise the Tray" March 16, 2026 | By ashley see. Did you know there are no national quality standards for the meat and seafood served in schools? Chef Ann Foundation is teaming up with ButcherBox for a three-year, $150,000 partnership to transform school food standards for meat and seafood. Chef Ann Foundation is thrilled to announce a powerful new partnership with ButcherBox, the leading direct-to-consumer meat & seafood brand that delivers high-quality, humanely raised meat and sustainably sourced seafood to consumers' doorsteps. With a mission to bring better meat and seafood to every table, ButcherBox is an ally in its work of transforming school food. Their recent Raise the Tray campaign, an initiative focused on creating standards for meat and seafood in the National School Lunch Program, is a testament to ensuring healthy protein reaches beyond the dinner table at home, but the school cafeteria too. Its partnership is a multi-year investment with their commitment of $50,000 per year for the next three years to support its work. They believe that the meat and seafood served in school cafeterias should meet the same high standards as the food they deliver to doorsteps across the country. Together, Chef Ann Foundation is pushing the USDA to establish clear quality standards and to keep meat produced with antibiotics out of school lunches. The issue. Last year, the National School Lunch Program fed over 29.4 million children on a typical school day. Despite this program's extensive reach, there are currently no national quality standards for the meat and seafood that make up the proteins of school lunches. That means any meat or seafood products - many of which were raised with routine antibiotic overuse and misuse - are able to be served to over 29 million American children each day. Its aligned vision in valuing food transparency and the health of its children creates the synergy of this partnership. At the Chef Ann Foundation, Chef Ann Foundation has seen firsthand how high-quality proteins can change a student's day. From helping schools in Dillingham, Alaska, serve fresh, local fish to its work with the PLANTS (Partnerships for Local Agriculture & Nutrition Transformation in Schools) grant to improve local food systems, Chef Ann Foundation know that kids thrive when they have access to healthy, thoughtfully sourced meals. As a certified B Corp, ButcherBox's sourcing philosophy is unparalleled. Their commitment to sourcing proteins without antibiotics or added hormones, as well as from partners with third-party animal welfare certifications, is admirable. By working together, Chef Ann Foundation is proving that companies and nonprofits can drive real change in the food system. ButcherBox has already gathered more than 21,000 signatures on its Change.org petition and authored an open letter to the USDA (which Chef Ann Foundation proudly signed) to demand better for its students. Chef Ann Foundation invite you to join this movement for better school food by signing the petition. When Chef Ann Foundation improve the quality of what is on the tray, Chef Ann Foundation improve the health and future of millions of children.
