Nashville Janitor Quietly Feeds Hundreds of Hungry Neighbours Through Her Own Food Pantry

By day, Alicia Williams is a janitor at Maplewood High School in Nashville. But every free moment she has, she's running a food pantry through her nonprofit, Believers Covenant — feeding families across the city who would otherwise go hungry.

A Janitor With a Mission

Alicia Williams doesn't have a big salary or a platform. What she has is determination and a deep belief that no one in her community should go hungry. Working as a janitor at Maplewood High School, she uses her free time — evenings, weekends, whatever she can spare — to run Believers Covenant, a nonprofit food pantry serving families all over Nashville.

Believers Covenant

The food pantry started small but has grown into a lifeline for hundreds of families. Alicia sources donations, organizes volunteers, and personally ensures that food reaches the people who need it most.
