Yesterday, most of the BetterWorld team spent part of the day helping out at the Heart of America Foundation – packing up and readying boxes of books to be delivered to kids around the country. We continue to support the Heart of America Foundation as they cross two of our three main support pillars: children and education. With a nationwide impact, helping increase literacy in schools all over the country, our ongoing efforts with HOA include distributing books in schools in the DC area, reading to children & readying books for nationwide distribution.
More about HOA: As we look to the next generation to improve upon the present, most adults fear the torch is about to be passed into shakier hands. According to a Public Agenda report, only 37 percent believe today’s children will grow up to make the world a better place. The Heart of America Foundation® (HOA) is determined to prove them wrong. Founded in 1997, HOA’s mission is to teach the values at the heart of America and to help people, particularly children, learn that they help themselves when they help others. Thier goal is to give children everywhere the tools they need to read, succeed and make a difference. Their programs combine character education, literacy, and service learning. The Heart of America Foundation® is a national, nonsectarian, non-partisan, nonprofit, humanitarian organization. For more information: www.heartofamerica.org
