Willie Thornton – Founder, CEO
I am Willie Thornton, CEO and founder of Feed the City a nonprofit organization that I established in 2017. My journey with Feed the City began with the profound influence of my late mother, who exemplified compassion and generosity through her actions. I vividly recall my childhood days when my mother, armed with a shopping cart and a large pot of food, walked the street of Overtown, selflessly sharing meals with those in need. While I may not have fully comprehended the significance of her efforts at the time, her unwavering dedication to helping others planted a seed of empathy within me.
As I matured, I came to realize the profound impact of my mother’s actions and the importance of giving back to the community. Inspired by her legacy, I decided to channel my energy and resources into creating Feed the City, a platform dedicated to providing essential support to individuals facing food insecurity. By following in my mother’s footsteps, I aim to continue her noble work and uphold the values of compassion and service that she instilled in me.
Through Feed the City, I strive to make a difference in the lives of those in need. Every meal shared, every smile brightened, and every heart touched serves as a testament to the enduring legacy of love and kindness. Together, we can build a stronger, more compassionate community where no one goes hungry or feel alone. Join me in this journey of hope, healing, and humanity as we work towards a brighter future for all.
Together, we can make a difference, one meal at a time.
