A Detroit man is making sure no families go without a meal this Thanksgiving, turning what started as a small community effort into a massive operation feeding more than 1,000 people.

Keyon Clinton started 1% Better six years ago, initially feeding just 50 people during the holiday. The Detroit native, who grew up on the city's east side, said the mission is deeply personal.

"I've been homeless. I know what it's like to have that hunger. So, it's a collective effort for us to come together and put this thing together," Clinton said.

Clinton said he grew up without many things, making this Thanksgiving initiative particularly meaningful to him.

"Hope. Hope. It's all about hope. To live in a world where you know there are people who love you still," Clinton said.
