FeelGood students raise awareness and funds for the end of hunger. Their primary vehicles are non-profit grilled cheese delis run by committed groups of informed campus leaders. Students volunteer their time and talent to offer grilled cheese sandwiches in exchange for a donation. 100% of deli proceeds are invested in organizations with proven track records of sustainably eradicating hunger and empowering self-reliance. Over 20 FeelGood delis are operating on campuses across the country, initiating thousands of dialogues, training hundreds of student social entrepreneurs, and mobilizing over $80,000 annually for the end of hunger. To date, student-run delis have helped raise over $1.4 million for investment in our partner organizations, an impact made possible in part because of partnership with people like you!
