Liam Hannon

Liam Hannon, a young philanthropist from Cambridge, Massachusetts, began significantly impacting his community at the age of 10. Opting out of summer camp, Liam participated in an online treasure hunt encouraging community service. This experience led him to establish Liam's Lunches of Love, a program dedicated to providing meals to individuals experiencing homelessness in his neighborhood.

With the support of his father, Scott, Liam started by preparing sandwiches in their kitchen, packing them into brown bags adorned with personalized notes and drawings. They would then distribute these meals using a wagon, directly engaging with those in need. The heartfelt messages on the bags became a cherished aspect of their initiative, with some recipients preserving them as keepsakes.

As word spread about Liam's efforts, community members began contributing through donations and volunteer work. This support enabled Liam's Lunches of Love to expand its reach, distributing hundreds of meals weekly. Liam's dedication and empathy have not only provided sustenance but also fostered a sense of connection and dignity among the homeless population.

Beyond meal distribution, Liam initiated Legos of Love, collecting used Lego bricks to create kits for children in nearby homeless shelters. This endeavor aims to bring joy and creativity to young minds facing challenging circumstances.
