Default Willie Ray Listed As Fortune’s 50 Greatest Leaders

https://www.kcrg.com/2021/05/12/will...atest-leaders/

“Fairley’s generosity may have cut into his profits, but it has endeared him to a community where he’s now a celebrated household name. (A billboard in Cedar Rapids encourages citizens to “Be a Willie,” and he’s been recognized by Discover, the credit card company, and actor Will Smith, among others.) In Iowa, in a year defined by the pandemic, disaster, and bitter political division, Fairley, who was recognized by Gov. Kim Reynolds in her annual January address, was the rare hero who transcended all that.”

This time Willie Ray Fairely is heading to Louisiana to feed Hurricane Ida victims and those working to restore power.
The owner of Willie Ray’s Q Shack made the announced on Wednesday, saying he is looking for help from someone who can pull the Q Shack Truck on a trailer. Fairley has been recognized locally and nationally for his efforts to feed people after multiple natural disasters. In Cedar Rapids, he fed hundreds of people per day for weeks after the derecho caused widespread damage in eastern Iowa. He also took a team to Texas to feed people after a winter storm left many without power.

In a Facebook post, Fairly wrote:
“We’re ready to make another trip. We planning on leaving Monday to head to Louisiana and feed hurricane victims and lineman whoever may need a meal. Looking for someone that can pull the Q Shack Truck on a trailer, would be greatly appreciated. I will pay for all the cost.”
