Neil Colley | Serving Up Hope: Inspiring Community Conversations

Serving Up Hope: Inspiring Community Conversations – My Guest, Neil Colley. “The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others, especially feeding them.” ~ M. Gandhi   Community leaders come in a variety of ways.  This week’s guest shares how his parents loving nature and motivation to help others inspired him to carry on his mom’s legacy after she passed. Mr. Colley had the unique blend of spending his first 15 years of life in Alabama and then his next 15 years in Wyoming.  The diversity of cultures and exposure to helping those less fortunate planted a seed that would lead him to helping feed elementary kids. Mr. Colley found success in the trucking business and realized his super power was making great connections and getting people excited about helping out.  So when he became involved with the, “Feed My Lambs” ministry he knew that he could add great value with fund raising.  Like most nonprofits, it requires donations to make it work.  The organization fills bags of food that help to feed kids over the weekend.  Mr. Colley talks about how he was shocked to learn how many kids go hungry over the weekend when school is out. Mr. Colley’s involvement started with just soliciting for donations and quickly grew to doing raffles and selling BBQ plates.  Mr. Colley says his mother’s love is what fueled him and seeing the impact on the kids he serves is what keeps him focused.  Mr. Colley’s story is one that should inspire everyone and prove that all you have to do to make a difference is to take action.  If you would like to donate you can learn more by going to http://minormemorial.org or call 662-781-1333.
