About Us

JD Meals is a certified M/WBE and internationally recognized food service management (FSM) company based in Queens. We produce and distribute both cooked and shelf-stable meals for schools, governments, nonprofits, and corporations. As a social impact food service company, JDE recruits and supports a diverse workforce, offering fair wages, professional growth opportunities, and access to financial and legal resources. Whether we’re preparing meals for 10 or 10,000, everything we make is cooked with purpose. And a portion of proceeds from all sales helps feed food-insecure communities across New York City.

Eat Well. Do Good.

We believe that food is more than sustenance, it’s a source of belonging, culture, and connection. Our philosophy is rooted in the understanding that every community deserves access to nourishing, culturally relevant meals and that through quality meals, we can unlock pathways to health, opportunity, and resilience.

Grounded in empathy and cultural awareness

We bring deep expertise in serving vulnerable populations with compassion and care. Our diverse leadership team, many of whom share lived experience with the communities we serve, ensures that our work is grounded in empathy and cultural awareness. We’ve built strategic partnerships with local farms, restaurants, and culturally specific vendors to source ingredients that reflect the tastes and traditions of the people we feed.

Together, we are creating a model for food service that goes beyond the plate - a model that nourishes bodies, honors identities, and builds stronger, more connected communities.
