Markeda Dennis

I started my career path just as regular staff working with people with intellectual disabilities, homeless needs, and people that were underprivileged financially. Just always having a heart for people is what drove me into the career that I am in now and what I do and how I give back to the community. Today, I handle the day-to-day functioning of individuals with intellectual disabilities. I have a ministry called Little Free Food Pantries, and in that ministry, we go around into less fortunate communities and plant little food-free planters, which allows free access, 24-hour access to food. We also have the Mobile Soup Kitchen, which gives out free hot meals to anyone that basically walks up to it. We don't ask any questions - if you walk up and come to the mobile truck, you'll be served, no questions asked. I spend most of my time trying to feed and clothe the less fortunate. That's what is fun for me. That's where I get satisfaction, gratification from, and a sense of purpose.
