Chad Davenport, Founder
Chad is a U.S. Navy veteran who learned the importance of showing up for others while serving his country. During his time in the Navy, he helped in the evacuation after Mount Pinatubo erupted in the Philippines and provided humanitarian support to San Francisco after the 1989 earthquake. For the past 30 years, that same spirit of compassion has guided him as he organizes food and clothing drives, hosts annual Toy Drives for local families, prepares home-cooked meals, and personally delivers care, hope, and connection to people experiencing homelessness in Dallas.
