FeelGood is a youth movement committed to ending world hunger in our lifetime. On college campuses across the US, FeelGood students run non-profit delis specializing in grilled cheese sandwiches. 100% of deli proceeds are invested in organizations sustainably eradicating global hunger.

They’re also a place for creative interaction and education – an inviting environment for customers to learn about hunger’s causes, consequences, and solutions.
