CWK Days

Cook With Your Kids Day

After years of campaigning his mission’s awareness, in 2008, Guy helped draft California state legislation proclaiming the 2nd Saturday in May annually as “Cook With Your Kids Day.” It was passed unanimously by the California State Legislature. On April 25th, 2011, Guy revisited California’ State Capitol where he was presented with a revised resolution that officially recognizes Cooking with Your Kids as a weekly initiative.

Today, CWK is on a mission to duplicate the success of Cook With Your Kids Day in California and is promoting the initiative in a similar fashion with state governments across the nation.  To date, the following states have passed legislation:

  • California
  • Kansas
