When LaRayia Gaston was growing up, Mother Teresa was her favorite person. In recent years, LaRayia has taken action by starting Lunch on Me [1], an organization "compiled of individuals constructing a greater change in the fight against starvation."

They're building trust in homeless communities and vulnerable neighborhoods through a variety of programs and food drives. They've even fed 10,000 people a month by redistributing organic food that would have otherwise gone to waste. See her share her passion firsthand in the video above!

It's all part of Shinola [2]'s partnership with #girlgaze [3] to highlight #GirlsWithPurpose. For more from the #GirlsWithPurpose series, head to Shinola's site [4].
