Key facts of this press release:

Raddish Kids, the original cooking subscription box for families and kids ages 4 – 14+, donated thousands of cooking and baking kits as well as nutritional education content to Save the Children US in July 2026
Donation includes approximately 10,000 Raddish Kids kits and 28,000 literature bundles intended to support children and families across Save the Children’s U.S. programs in rural America, where communities face some of the highest child food insecurity rates nationwide
Donated kits include seasonal themes that help children and families engage in hands-on learning moments throughout the year across all seasons and cultural occasions

NEW YORK CITY, July 08, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Raddish Kids, the original cooking subscription box for kids trusted by more than 500,000 families, donated thousands of cooking and baking kits as well as nutrition-based education content to Save the Children, a leading humanitarian organization championing the rights of children globally.

The donated kits include themed Raddish Kids materials designed to make cooking approachable and educational for children and families. Because many of the kits are tied to seasonal moments— including summer, back-to-school, Halloween, Thanksgiving and the holidays— the donation is designed to support children and families across meaningful family moments throughout the year.

It is estimated that one in five children—more than 14 million— across the United States live in food-insecure households. In rural America, where Save the Children US works in more than 250 communities, kids are disproportionately affected, often facing limited access to nutritious meals. This reflects broader inequities: in 39 states, children in rural communities are more likely to grow up in poverty than their non-rural peers, and many are at heightened risk of food insecurity and other barriers to well-being.

Raddish Kids is built on the simple belief that the kitchen is where kids gain confidence and families connect. Its three monthly subscription boxes help kids build real-life skills while discovering new foods, cultures, and cooking techniques through illustrated recipes, kid-designed tools, and hands-on activities. All recipes are high-quality and chef-designed, making meals just as exciting for kids to create as they are enjoyable for the whole family to eat. For children, cooking can become a hands-on way to practice confidence, ownership and curiosity. For families, the kitchen can become a place for shared time, conversation and memory-making, from grocery shopping to the dinner table.

“Raddish Kids was founded on the belief that the kitchen is one of the most meaningful places for children to learn,” said Maegan Zelner, Chief Operating Officer at Raddish Kids. “We’re grateful for the opportunity to donate these kits and literature bundles to Save the Children and hope they help create moments of learning, connection and joy for children and families throughout the year.”

This year’s support builds upon Raddish Kids’ previous donation of tens of thousands of cooking and baking kits to Save the Children, reflecting the company’s ongoing commitment to helping children build confidence, independence and connection through hands-on cooking experiences.

"We’re grateful for Raddish Kids’ continued commitment to supporting our programs in rural America," said Mary McInerney, Head of Program Implementation at Save the Children US. "Together, we’re not only helping provide nutritious meals to children and families facing food insecurity, but also offering interactive cooking experiences that foster learning and strengthen family connection.”

Save the Children works to address the interconnected needs of underserved children and families in the U.S. and around the world—from early learning and nutrition to emergency response and family well-being. For more than 90 years, they have partnered with local governments, organizations and communities across rural America to improve access to quality education, childcare, nutritious food and family support.
