On Tuesday, February 10, 2015, Deah Shaddy Barakat (23), his wife Yusor Mohammad Abu-Salha (21) and her sister Razan Mohammad Abu-Salha (19) were found shot and killed in their apartment in Chapel Hill, NC. The loss of Deah, Yusor & Razan was devastating not just to their community in North Carolina but to the nation, as these three activists continuously gave selflessly to their community and were exemplar models. Whether it be the homeless community of Durham, NC or the Syrian refugees based in Turkey, these three leaders were coordinating ways to help and serve. 

Deah's last facebook post, dated January 29th, was of an evening where he and other selfless individuals gave food and free dental supplies to over 75 homeless people and he used the hashtag: #Downtownsmiles. In honor of and to continue their legacy of feeding those in need, there will be a National Canned Food Drive where all collected food donations will be given on behalf of Deah, Yusor & Razan. Through this coordinated national service effort & drive, we hope to #FeedTheirLegacy.
