Our Leadership

The people who cast the vision for our ministry

Shelly Sassen

Chief Executive Officer

Our CEO

Shelly Sassen has served in the role of Chief Executive Officer since 2019. Through her leadership and vision, the number of families served by The Well Outreach has grown ten-fold in the past five years.

Our ministry now has over 20 full-time staff members serving people at two food pantry campuses and running four impactful programs within our community.

She has transformed what was once a small neighborhood food pantry into a regional food organization that impacts communities throughout Middle Tennessee.

Our Board of Directors

We are grateful to our board members for their  generosity, leadership and vision.

Community Service Volunteering

Important Note

If you are seeking community service hours, please sign up to do so within these opportunities in our VOMO volunteer portal, not the other pantry serving options.

In addition, you must attend a Well Tour Orientation before beginning your serving hours with us.  You can sign up for that via the Learning & Training opportunities in VOMO.
