As a nonprofit leader with extensive experience with managing federal funds including grant acquisition, federal compliance, and data management, I seek out partners such as Hand Heart + Soul Project to provide collaborations that support my charter school’s advocacy and direct programs to nurture children’s learning. We share success with each other as our teams deliver the shared deliverables that promote success for each of our primary missions.

What drew me to Hand, Heart + Soul Project was their innovative vision and on-the-ground work to truly change the lives of the communities they serve as well as the systems that directly impact them. Wande's creativity and tireless devotion to making real change vs performative action is a critical component, and she's built a team that has both deep knowledge and genuine care.

Food and wellness touch us all. Access touches us all. Policy and community touch us all. HHSP continues to lead in bringing everyone in to contribute to better outcomes for Clayton County residents, the Atlanta area and the broader world by serving as an example of what is possible when you strategically approach opportunities and needs instead of running the same old playbook for no reason.

Their integrity as a team in the suites and on the streets is matched with a keen eye for excellence in financial responsibility, process and policy development and the crucial work of breaking bread together.

A diet high in nutritiously dense foods contributes directly to a child’s ability to learn. Families, faculty and staff that partner with Hand Heart + Soul Project value making it possible for them to obtain fresh fruits and vegetables that, for many, are not otherwise conveniently available in the food deserts where many live.

My experience with HHSP has been great thus far! This program has been impactful in the ways I eat, exercise, and my daily lifestyle. HHSP has provided me with beneficial information about healthy eating and resources that I did not know existed in this area. For example, the Little Lions Farmstand encouraged me to add more vegetables and fruit in my diet. As a teacher, we sometimes eat "on the go". But HHSP provides many suggestions on how we can eat healthy, "on the go" snacks (nuts, berries, trail mix). Thank you HHSP! I will continue to spread the word about the difference you are making in our community!

An organization of their word. We have worked with them for about a year and have had a chance to grow with the company. Had to learn the style of how they operate but I give them credit for speaking up and wish they would expand outside of current territory to serve wider population.

Hand, Heart and Soul Project leads with a community-first mindset. Their long term vision to support and uplift Clayton Co families is bold and achievable.

I love their holistic lens of health, by providing healthy, local and accessible food and food education to families. There are many non-profits in the Atlanta area, but few are so bound and connected to the community they serve.

Thrilled to support HHSP year after year.

This program not only inspires and cultivates the minds of the young but continues to dismantle stereotypes within different communities in order to progress not only within a specific group of people, but as a community and society. Bravo
