About Ansley Lyons

For Ansley Lyons, fighting hunger isn’t just a platform – it’s a lifelong mission. Raised in Georgia, she began serving others at just 4 years old by decorating lunch bags for a local summer feeding program. By age 6, she was helping prepare meals for children facing hunger, and the following summer, she experienced firsthand the impact of food insecurity while delivering meals alongside her mother to families in need.

That early experience sparked a passion that continues today. Ansley volunteers with Meals by Grace, helping provide groceries to hundreds of individuals across North Georgia each week while organizing food drives, educating communities, and advocating for families struggling to put food on the table. She also led the construction of a Little Free Pantry through the Jacksonville Christian Outreach Center, expanding access to food and essential items for those in need.

A 2026 recipient of the Lifetime Volunteer Service Award and a recent graduate of Jacksonville State University with a degree in Graphic Design and a minor in Content Creation, Ansley uses her creativity and voice to inspire action. Through her platform, Drive Out Hunger, she has helped collect thousands of food items and mobilized others to join the fight against food insecurity.

As Royal International Miss Southern States Role Model 2025–2026, Ansley is proving that one act of service can grow into a movement that changes lives.
