Feed 3 were instrumental, from day one in providing resources, proven, recovery models, emotional, financial, and spiritual support to us in a way that greatly improved our ability to respond effectively in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene. Our strategic partnership clearly makes us both, stronger and more effective at meeting the needs of those individuals who were “wrecked” by Helene.
Feed 3 has been a great source of wisdom and encouragement in our service to WNC, as well as an important connecting point to government agencies and donors who have been integral in our relief efforts!
The FEED 3/CityTransformation model is a block-by-block strategy to reclaim the decaying areas of our cities by working with local nonprofits, faith-based groups, neighborhood associations and government agencies. Teams are mobilized to reach target neighborhoods in the community to produce physical, cultural, social and economic development. it is a movement of concerned citizens birthed through faith, service, sacrifice and commitment.”
I have worked closely with Randy Skinner and FEED 3/CityTransformation and regard him as one of the true leaders in our community. He has an incredible heart for Jesus and is truly producing demonstrable results in transforming West Dallas. His city wide movement to end hunger and homelessness are admirable examples of servant leadership and to his commitment to change our community and individual lives. I had the wisdom to appoint him to chair the City Ethics Commission and his leadership and perseverance in that position have made a difference in our city’s government.
Our city is known for grabbing an issue and addressing it in a big way. In a successful way. FEED 3 has done that around hunger. It’s marvelous to see his work and to see how God works through him as well. He is also Chairman of the Dallas Ethics Advisory Commission and an it's a very important job as he tries to keep us all on the straight and narrow. I thank him for doing that for many years. He not only gives back on the streets but at Dallas City Hall.
Fighting the blight of hunger, injustice, and poverty in our inner cities requires constant struggle. In this battle, comes Randy Skinner of FEED 3/CityTransformation who takes a unique approach with a personal commitment, heartfelt empathy, tireless work ethic and strategic thinking. His city transformation model fills me and others with hope, belief and excitement this battle can and is being won.
Randy Skinner of FEED 3/CityTransformation is an unsung hero in the city of Dallas. For years he has been a voice for the underserved in our communities. Not only has his voice been heard, but his actions have spoken even louder. Whether addressing hunger, poverty, inner city transformation, or ethics, he has rolled up his sleeves and served those in need, advised leaders, and helped the rest of us see a more clear perspective.
Randy Skinner is one of the most creative, compassionate, energetic, and engaged leaders I have ever met. He is making a big difference in Dallas.
Randy's CityTransformation model is uniting ‘people groups’ for the positive transformation of West Palm Beach resulting in crime free, safe and clean neighborhoods. The result: create a culture where families, schools and businesses thrive, allowing people to fulfillingtheir dreams... resulting in an abundant life!”
Randy of FEED 3/CityTransformation is a bold yet compassionate leader whose work among the disenfranchised in the places of greatest need is a model for societal transformation. Simply put - Randy does ministry the Jesus way.
During Hurricane Harvey in 2017, Randy Skinner and his organization "City Transformations" played a critical role in bringing resources, awareness, and relief organizations together. City transformations had boots on the ground day one for recovery efforts, and if it wasn't for them working very closely with local and state government leaders, local church communities, and other outside relief organizations, my business would not have recovered as quickly and as beautifully as it did.
