Chef Jernard Wells and Feeding America are teaming up to end hunger across the United States. When Chef Jernard’s family experienced food insecurity, they relied on food assistance programs and organizations like Feeding America to help them through times of need. For over 40 years, Feeding America has worked with communities throughout the United States to find solutions to end hunger. People facing hunger receive support and access to essential food and resources through the Feeding America network of food banks, food pantries and local meal programs across the nation. The impact of food assistance goes well beyond a meal, it opens possibilities for people to thrive.

With the support of food assistance programs like those offered by food banks in the Feeding America network, Chef Jernard had the fuel to strive for greatness and plant the seeds for his future. The charismatic chef understands the incredible impact that organizations like Feeding America have had on his family and many others. Having access to food assistance empowered Chef Jernard to pursue his fullest potential.
