SHELDON DIGGS (HE/HIM)<br />
Sheldon has been feeding the<br />
homeless for years. He started out<br />
in his own kitchen to bring a car full<br />
of food to the park by the library in<br />
downtown Nashville. This lead to the<br />
program called #StreetTeamLegal<br />
which began in July 2017. This<br />
has since become Souls United, a<br />
registered non-profit corporation<br />
established in September 2017.<br />
Now, the First Evangelical Lutheran<br />
Church houses Souls United every<br />
Wednesday in their Dining Hall,<br />
complete with a commercial kitchen.<br />
He helps arrange resources, homes,<br />
jobs for people when he can, but the<br />
core of what he does is providing<br />
amazing food and company to<br />
people who have gone through so<br />
much in life. He helps partner with<br />
other organizations to get people<br />
showers, haircuts, clothes, blankets,<br />
and more. He truly fights for the<br />
homeless and has this uncanny ability<br />
to recruit people to help him — even<br />
if they have never done anything for<br />
charity in their life.<br />
