Florida Teen Tackles Food Insecurity

Florida native Matthew Wanless has been volunteering since the tender age of 5, for Joshua’s Heart Foundation. This Miami Beach-based organization was founded by Joshua Williams when he was just 4 years old. This proves that there are no age limits when it comes to doing good in the world!      

The mission of Joshua’s Heart Foundation (JHF) is to end hunger and reduce the cycle of poverty that plagues many global citizens. This youth-run organization empowers underserved people to improve their quality of life. Volunteers collect and deliver basic necessities like groceries and personal items, and educate youth on the topics of world hunger and poverty. Both youth and adults volunteer for JHF, whether they work directly with people or behind the scenes in administrative roles.
