Wishing Well Incorporated (doing business as FreeMeals) is a California-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit that operates a volunteer-run meal program focused on feeding families, seniors, foster children and medically vulnerable people who lack access to nutritious meals.

Wishing Well is registered as tax-exempt with the IRS (tax-exempt since February 2010) and files annual Form 990-EZ returns. In recent years (2022–2025) the organization has reported steady contributions, maintained operations as a fully volunteer-run program, and shown growth in net assets that has supported continued program delivery and modest expansion of services.
