9-Year-Old Activist Packs 100 Bags With Food For The Homeless Every Week! [1]
[2]
Around 100 homeless individuals in the Portland, Oregon area are fed each week thanks to this kind-hearted young man.
When Dusty Liulay, an inspired activist [3] with a heart to help the homeless, volunteered to work at a soup kitchen, he was told he was too young to participate.
You can imagine his disappointment, as he and his family have been volunteering [3] at soup kitchens since he was five years old. No matter, the inspiring youngster turned this roadblock into an exciting venture and started “Dusty’s Sacks of Hope” [4] to help the homeless in his own way.
With the assistance of a few volunteers, Dusty delivers nearly 150 brown bag lunches to homeless individuals in Portland, Oregon every week.
KOIN News reports [5] (above) that his cousin, Caelie Agosta, helps with the fundraising to pay for the Sacks of Hope. In addition, their GoFundMe page [4] (which has already raised more than $2,600 in one month!) allows individual from around the world to get involved.
According to Dusty [4] and his family, every $100 collected can make about 120 lunches – and no donation amount is too small! $2 will buy a loaf of bread for someone cold and hungry [6] on the street.

Like Hailey Fort, the 9-year-old activist intent on building tiny homes for the homeless [8], this young individual is an inspiring example [9] of all that can be accomplished when you set your mind to a task. [10]
