Donations From The Heart offers an after school educational tutoring program to students that are considered at-risk and need literacy improvement. This program is geared towards the low income, transient, truant and those reentering the educational system. Our goal is to improve each student’s learning ability, understanding, knowledge, grades and test scores. Students need hands-on and inquiry based activities that are tied to real world experiences. Consequently, after-school learning must provide the kind of skills students need for the 21st century and at the same time motivate the desire to learn. For this reason, we are committed to deliver authentic, individualized, high quality learning opportunities with instructional times for students in a safe environment. This program is vital to the students, their parents and families, and the community as a whole.

Another key component of the after-school program is the addition of a researched based character development program. The program promotes social-emotional and character development. Some of the most important aspects of the program include helping children develop skills for a positive self concept, learning how to manage oneself responsibly, getting along with others, being honest, and overall self improvement. The character program provides opportunities for greater involvement of parents, community, and other stakeholders who care about student success.

Food Assistance

Donations From The Heart food program understands that “Generous Hands are Blessed Hands because we give Bread to the Poor.” Proverbs 22:9 There are thousands of people in America that are starving from lack of food. The cost of living increases constantly and something as simple as having a hot healthy meal for some is a major feat. Our food assistance program provides healthy food assistance for those that cannot afford to buy groceries and feed themselves or their loved ones.
