FEED 3 has been recognized for their work in Hurricane Relief in bringing strategic solutions, funding resources, matching dollars and delivery of product to meet the needs of rebuilding homes and businesses. Our founder Randel H. Skinner during Hurricane Harvey (2017-2019) was appointed by Gov. Greg Abbott of Texas among seven other Texans to oversee his personal $100 million Hurricane Recovery Fund. Skinner also served as an advisor to Dr. Ben Carson HUD Faith Based Office in Washington D.C. which oversees Hurricane Relief. These unique appointments allowed our organization to help navigate the strategic RECOVERY and REBUILD of the Texas Coast. FEED 3 brought in over 50 plane loads of product and countless truckloads of supplies. Our founder was the only non-resident of where the eye of the Category Five Hurricane struck (Port Aransas, Texas) to serve on the local rebuilding of that city and FEED 3 produced a marketing campaign for the Chamber of Commerce called A New Day in Port A, which helped the rebuilding of that city.
Responding to local leaders of the impact from Hurricane Helene, FEED 3 responded immediately to their request for rescue, recovery and rebuild. We are currently partnering with boots on the ground in Black Mountain, Morgantown, and Boone N.C. Please give to help us continue to remain on location here in the area.

Help us end Hunger
A Strategy to Eradicate Hunger
Recognizing the hunger need of greater Dallas, FEED 3 was launched in 2010. The founders are: Randy Skinner, Executive Director of the Greater Dallas Justice Revival and Strategic Justice Initiatives, and Russell Lake (Co-Founder of the One Heart Project supported by many professional athletes and business leaders).
In 2015 Randy Skinner was invited by the Texas Agriculture Commissioner to help provide summer feeding to children in the inner city. Over the next five years there would be 30 feeding sites providing up to 50,000 meals a summer. FEED 3 created food Co-ops to replace food pantries and was recognized by Dallas Mayors Tom Leppert and Mike Rawlings for their work.
The three men believe that a pro-business model is the most effective strategy in eradicating widespread hunger in Dallas. Feed 3 is a holistic approach to end hunger, by feeding the body with nutritional foods, feeding the mind with character based programs, and feeding the soul, by partnering business and church groups with impoverished communities.
The Feed 3 mission is more than another food pantry program as it integrates practical and proven methods. The Feed 3 approach helps to enrich the community on multiple levels so that people are nourished physically, encouraged personally and fortified through social and economic development and growth.
Pro-Business Approach
Randy Skinner, witnessed first hand the strength of partner-ing with the business community to effect change. Skinner was actively involved in the transformation of a poverty ridden area of West Dallas into a thriving community.
“We saw devastation in housing that contributed to poverty and hopelessness until we introduced an aggressive pro-business housing program. We knew that a pro business approach, one which would encourage economic growth and development, was critical to helping eradicate hunger in our struggling West Dallas community.
Today, over 300 drug houses have been bought out by businessmen and replaced with affordable housing. This has lead to a dramatic reduction in crime and the poverty level. We now want to introduce a pro-business approach to other struggling areas in Dallas.”
Skinner believed if the generational cycle of poverty was to be broken, it required educating a new generation. “Both the inner city and business community needed a new model, we provided that model and real transformation had occurred.” he said.
