About
Our Mission
Cooking With Gabby is a non-profit 501(c)3 organization dedicated to eliminating poor nutrition, hunger and associated health disparities such as childhood obesity, diabetes and heart disease in low income communities where poor nutrition, food deserts and hunger persist; and give children, their families, and their communities the tools to live healthy lives.
Our Story
Cooking With Gabby started as a dream of Chef Steve and his daughter Gabriella "Gabby" Vasquez of improving the devastating impact of poor nutrition, obesity, diabetes and heart disease on children and families. Together, they started cooking healthy food and sharing the benefits of healthy eating, active lifestyles with the community as early as 1996.
By 2006, Cooking With Gabby, a non-profit organization, had established the mission and commitment reducing the impact by working with children and families, in low income communities, with a high prevalence for health disparities such as obesity, diabetes and heart disease. Since that time Cooking With Gabby has worked with thousands of children and families, in impacted communities, giving them the tools to live healthy lifestyles from the earliest possible age.
