More than 10 years ago, Jerry Hunt came to me with a simple question: “What would it take to start a Feed The City event in Fort Worth?”
At the time, Jerry was already making the drive from Fort Worth to Dallas and Plano twice every month to help set up, serve, and clean up at our events. He wasn’t looking for recognition. He simply wanted to do more for his community.
On June 18, 2016, we hosted our very first Feed The City event in FunkyTown.
Ten years later, Jerry is still leading that same event every month. What started as one gathering has grown into three monthly Feed The City events across Fort Worth, creating opportunities for thousands of volunteers to serve their neighbors and helping provide countless meals to those in need.
Jerry, thank you for a decade of leadership, consistency, and heart. Thank you for showing up month after month, year after year. Most importantly, thank you for loving your community and making a lasting impact in the lives of so many people.
Fort Worth is better because of you—and so are countless lives far beyond it.
