GENUINE FOODS
is different. Good different.
CORPORATE INGREDIENTS
We’re a quality-focused food service company that shuns packaged, processed and frozen ‘food’ in favor of scratch-made, wholesome, culturally relevant meals created with fresh, vibrant seasonal ingredients. You’ll find us in K-12 schools, higher education, senior and hospital facilities and communities, and regardless of whom we’re serving, we do it with an honest promise: With us, you’ll get real food, created by a people-centric team, with a second helping of reliability and integrity.
Genuine Foods was founded in 2015 by Jeff Mills, the longtime Director of Food & Nutrition Services for Washington D.C. Public Schools. Our team seeks to bring a radical, nationwide change to how foodservice looks — all at a refreshingly competitive price — especially in communities where poverty, obesity and health issues are prevalent.
“Our purpose goes beyond the plate.”
— Jeff Mills, founder and CEO
We aim to serve communities with the greatest need, including communities of color and others disproportionately impacted.
Focused on serving culturally relevant, high quality, delicious foods that nourish people (even during times of crisis) using local, seasonal ingredients as often as possible.
Operating on-site, in commissary and at pop-up locations to adapt to the rapidly changing logistical needs of customers.
Growing local pride and economies by sourcing culturally important food from community-based food producers and suppliers.
Valuing our partner’s business as our own, sticking to the highest level of accountability, communication and delivery on all fronts.
