People and Organizations doing Big things NOW

       

 Chris the Kingpin/FEEDCHICAGO

I am an Artist and I started feed Chicago where we offer grab and go grocery events and cookouts free to people in need right now in Chicago.

What inspires you?

As an artist, what inspires me is my desire to learn as well as my desire to be the best at what I do. On the other hand, what inspires me to give back is a privilege. I’m familiar with not having much, but even during that time, I had more than others. I’ve always wanted to help those who need it and just spread positivity so here I am trying to do that now.
