FeedWells Services
FeedWells Services provides comprehensive nutrition and food service solutions that combine healthy meal delivery, education, and workforce development. We deliver balanced, student-curated meals to support health and academic performance, while also partnering with schools on nutrition education and sustainable food practices. Through culinary training programs and dual-enrollment opportunities, we help prepare students for careers in food service. In addition, we collaborate with local farms to source fresh ingredients and connect students with agricultural learning. Our team manages large-scale food service operations with efficient supply chain management and quality control, while also engaging communities through initiatives that reduce food insecurity and promote sustainability.
Purpose
Student-first mindset: Students co-create menus through taste tests, surveys, and school food councils, so voices closest to the plate shape decisions.
Impact-driven execution: 5 million meals served to date; 3M during COVID alone; recognition from the White House for combating child hunger.
Community + local sourcing: Strategic investments in Memphis-area farms to bring fresh, locally grown produce into student meals.
Learning culture: Hands-on culinary courses and farm learning activities develop talent and food literacy alongside service.
Quality & safety focus: Programs are administered under state and federal nutrition standards (NSLP, SBP, CACFP, SFSP).

Additional Culture Details
How we operate: We pair student input with operational rigor (menu testing, safety, waste reduction) to drive participation (sites have moved from 30% to 100% within two weeks).
Leadership approach: Our team leads “in the kitchen and in the community”—proactive communication with staff, schools, and vendors keeps us aligned on outcomes.
Beyond meals: Education (culinary courses, farm learning), wellness, and local economic development are embedded in our work.
