ABOUT US

This is an inspiring story of how one young boy's compassion and determination sparked a movement that has made a significant impact on the lives of children in need. Bryson's journey from an 8-year-old on a mission trip to leading a community-wide effort that has packed 1 million meals in just five years is remarkable. His story demonstrates the power of a single individual's dedication to making a difference, which can inspire and mobilize an entire community to create lasting change.

The fact that the Hope for the Hungry event has grown so substantially, from 22,000 meals in its first year to 370,000 meals in its most recent event, shows how a small idea can grow into a large-scale initiative with widespread support. It's heartwarming to see how the Destin community, including churches, businesses, and local residents, has rallied around this cause to support children in Haiti and beyond.

Bryson's mother, Mhari Turner, aptly captures the essence of this initiative by highlighting its ability to bring people together across generations, turning a local effort into a global impact. The Hope for the Hungry event is a powerful example of how empathy, action, and community can come together to address pressing global issues like hunger and poverty.
