CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa (KWWL) - 'Treat people the way you want to be treated' is the golden rule Willie Fairley has been following since the derecho hit.

The owner of Willie Ray's Q Shack has been handing out free food almost every day. On Friday, he teamed up with the 'Advocates for Social Justice'.

The Q shack is located on Blairs Ferry Rd in Cedar Rapids, but Fairley wanted to get closer to the community.

Burgers, ribs, beans, and more were coming straight off the grill and into peoples' hands all day Friday. Some people even tried to donate money, but Fairley refused.

"When you have a passion for people and you just have to do the right thing, and doesn't matter how long we do it," Fairley said. "We just gonna do it until everyone needs it. And it could be six months from now someone needs something. We still want to be there. We want to be that rally call to make sure everyone has what they need."

He says the support he has been getting from the community is unbelievable and he plans on continuing to hand out food for at least a few more weeks.
