A Tax Refugee with a Master's Degree| Merideth Spriggs | +39

Merideth Spriggs is the Founder & Chief Kindness Officer of Caridad, a full-service street outreach agency that serves as a homeless concierge service. Caridad strives to humanize homeless by providing compassionate service based street outreach to end homelessness. This 501(c)(3) non-profit agency offers a myriad of services that include simple things like conversation, water, understanding, and more complex services like job allocation, life planning, and donations. The staple of their organization is the Caridad Gardens, which is a full-service produce garden in the heart of Downtown. The gardens serves as an HQ, revenue, and place to house homeless with a temp place of employment.
Merideth Spriggs found her homeless, in 2008, with a Master's Degree in Divinity, and no where to go. This experience gave her the inspiration to help others, often misunderstood situations, find assistance for their situations. This ex nightclub host combines her knowledge and expertise from a handful of previous life fulfillments and values. Thank you Merideth!
