Ronnie Harris II
Founder & Executive Director
Thoreau Giving began as a group of passionate grassroots volunteers—united by a shared mission to break the cycle of poverty for single mothers and at-risk youth. What started as a vision has grown into a movement focused on creating lasting change through housing, education, and empowerment. We’re more than just a nonprofit—we’re a community of advocates, mentors, and builders. Our organization is committed to making a real, tangible difference in the lives of those we serve, support, and partner with.
