Dear Family,
It is with deep sorrow that I share some heartbreaking news. Willa Johnson, the founder and guiding light of Feeding Kids Right, Inc. and The Soul Kitchen, put up a good fight but has passed away. She passed back on September 27, 2025 and it has been a struggle to come to grips with it enough to be in a space to be able to let you all know.
She dedicated her life to feeding kids and helping the community by providing hope and resources to those in need. Her vision and compassion touched countless lives, and your generous support has been an integral part of that journey.
After careful consideration, Feeding Kids Right, Inc. and The Soul Kitchen will not continue forward. This decision was not made lightly, but I believe it is the most respectful way to close this chapter while preserving the integrity of her legacy.
We are deeply grateful for your kindness, trust, and contributions over the years. Your support helped make Willa Johnson’s dream a reality, and for that, we cannot thank you enough.
It took a while to get this announcement out because it has been a very upsetting time for not just me, but my daughter and grandmother as well as her siblings. Please keep my family and loved ones in your thoughts during this difficult time. Thank you for being part of this journey and for helping her make a difference. To those who have been donating. I am trying to get all mail sorted so that I can send back every donation.
With heartfelt gratitude,
The Food Lady’s daughter
