Deep dives

Founding Inspiration

The journey began when the speaker attended a spiritual retreat that significantly deepened his relationship with his faith. He was inspired to take action toward addressing homelessness after a conversation about a successful community initiative in Texas, which involved churches coming together to support vulnerable individuals. This led to the establishment of an organization aimed at providing food and hope to those on the streets. With a catering truck as the initial distribution method, the concept evolved over the years into a larger community project aimed at giving people a sense of purpose and belonging.
