About Us
“When we launched Eat. Learn. Play. in 2019, we saw the tremendous need that existed in our adopted hometown of Oakland and set out to use our platform and resources to work to unlock the full potential of the kids in our community”
—Stephen and Ayesha Curry, Co-Founders of Eat. Learn. Play.
Our Mission
We support children’s wellbeing through access to nutritious meals, quality reading resources and opportunities to play and be active because everyone deserves the chance to live a happy, healthy childhood.
Our Focus
We focus on three vital pillars of a healthy childhood: nutrition, literacy, and physical activity. Our investments meet kids where they are most often - in school, at home, and in their community.
Eat. Learn. Play. in the Community
Our Impact
Over the years, we’ve been inspired by the impact that happens when a community comes together to make a change, and we are now further invested to meet Oakland kids where they are each and every day, to transform their school experience and create lasting change for generations to come. While we’re happy with what we’ve accomplished in our first four years, we’re also looking ahead, growing our work in exciting new ways as we continue to serve our adopted community of Oakland.
We hope you’ll join us in unlocking the amazing potential of every child.
