We are also excited to promote financial literacy for children during this event in honor of National Financial Literacy Month!”
“Joshua’s Heart Foundation is honored to team with our community partners, OneUnited Bank, to distribute food to needy Miami families. My son, Joshua, who founded Joshua’s Heart Foundation when he was only four, set into motion a grand vision to eradicate hunger for all, all over the globe. These opportunities to reach into our neighborhoods and help so many deserving families are pivotal to achieving Joshua’s mission”, commented Claudia McLean, Executive Director of JHF.
