THE BACKSTORY
Courtney Johnson noticed something troubling at his local Walmart—perfectly good food was being thrown away simply because there wasn’t enough room for it. Determined to make a change, he spent six weeks persistently asking why this food was going to waste and how it could be put to better use. Through his unwavering dedication, Courtney finally convinced Walmart to allow him to give the surplus food back to the community instead. Since then, with the help of Y&E’s incredible volunteers, this weekly food drive has served over 30,000 people, turning what was once waste into a vital resource for those in need.
