Joshua's Heart Foundation – Youth Community Service Projects Florida

Help Us Stomp Out Hunger and Poverty

Join the Junior Advisory Board!

By designing their own projects, youth acquire organizational skills and gain self-confidence from their success. They gain experience in numerous areas, including fundraising and public speaking. They also get the satisfaction of helping others. The leadership experience and confidence that they gained will help them in all aspects of their lives. These youth serve as a “board of directors” for the organization, gaining leadership experience.

Hunger Impacts People From Around the World

Worldwide, about 805 million people are undernourished on a daily basis.
Fourteen percent of the residents of developing nations are undernourished.
Two thirds of the world’s hungry live in Asia—to the most populous country on earth, China.
The highest prevalence of hunger is in Sub-Saharan Africa, where one in four people are malnourished.

Hunger Kills

According to the World Health Organization (WHO) worldwide, poor nutrition is responsible for 45 percent of the deaths of children under the age of five. That’s over 3 million children a year. One in six children in developing nations is underweight. The World Food Programme estimates that it would take $3.2 billion U.S. to feed the 66 million hungry school-age children around the world. While that is a lofty goal, Joshua’s Heart is determined to reach as many of them as possible. Developing countries need the whole world to help them stomp out hunger.

"The loving and dedicated volunteers of Joshua’s Heart Foundation (JHF) provide much more than just food, clothes, toys and access to needed services. JHF provides opportunities for all of us to work together toward the Foundation’s mission of ending world hunger."

"Every time I participate in a distribution, attend a Junior Advisory Board meeting, or meet with members to plan out individual projects encouraged by Josh and his mom, I feel a sense of happiness that only comes from helping others. It’s one of the few foundations where kids are in charge of the decisions and oversee their outcome."

"I am a social worker at one of the largest mental health agencies in Miami Dade County. I have been collaborating with Joshua’s Heart Foundation for the past three years. Joshua’s Heart has been generously providing food and personal items to our low-income patients. They have included our most needy families in their events making a huge difference in the lives of disadvantaged children. As a social worker and a resident of South Florida, I am truly grateful for Joshua, his vision and the efforts of everyone at Joshua’s Heart Foundation."

"I have been working with Joshua's Heart Foundation for over a year now and in that time I have seen firsthand how the foundation has helped families needing food assistance all over south Florida. My life has changed for the better since I starting working with this foundation!"
