The gap between the economically secure and the poor is more severe than it was four decades ago. Lacking basic goods, including food, clothing, clean water, and effecting programing that allows the spirit of giving through partnerships helping families to enjoy a night out, No child left out. We are a more diverse population and a more dispersed population; we are older and yet remain divided by race, income, and location.
The Love Can Initiative was founded on the principle that no child should have to suffer from lack of anything.
Andy has also been affiliated with other campaigns he has been passionate about spotlighting.To learn more click here
