Distinguished Finalist

Henry Hernandez, 18, of Irving, Texas, a senior at Macarthur High School, has helped to provide more than 100 homeless people with food and support through the outreach and collection program he established in 2014. After witnessing abject poverty so close to the city, Henry was moved to help; he then worked with his parents, local businesses, his youth pastor and youth group to launch “Project Sheltering Jesus.”
