The AnnieRuth Foundation was established in 2012. This 501(c)3 organization is named after Ruth Kearney, the grandmother of Founder, Dee Wilcox. Its purpose is to serve as a catalyst of positive change in underserved communities.
The foundation focuses on education, health initiatives, and economic development. Our goal is to equip participants with knowledge and skills to assist with making healthy life choices; thus empowering them to become positive contributors to society. Our programs offer viable solutions to problems that negatively impact individuals, the family unit and the community as a whole; problems that if unaddressed will negatively impact future generations.
The AnnieRuth Foundation has a deep commitment to the personal, educational and professional achievement of those we serve.
To strengthen underserved communities by providing services and resources in an effort to educate, enrich and empower families on the First Coast.
To be a catalyst of positive change in underserved communities.
Passionate (we believe that “passion” drives one to do their best work; we are passionate about making a positive difference in the lives of those we serve)
Respect (we believe that every soul deserves to be treated with dignity; therefore we handle every interaction with the highest level of respect)
Equality (we believe that we are neither above nor beneath anyone else regardless of race, ethnicity, religion or gender; we are all human beings seeking to make this world a better place of which to live)
Accountable (we believe that each person should be held accountable for their actions; making no excuses but a commitment to do better)
Committed (we believe that programs should be solution-oriented and results driven; therefore we are committed to continuously evaluating our programs ensuring that they are suitable for those we serve)
Sowing seeds, strengthening communities
I felt privileged to volunteer my services with the AnnieRuth Foundation; it was an awesome experience to be able to help assist in preparing the back packs filled with supplies and giving bagged fruit and vegetables to the students at Ocean way Elementary school, the kids were taught how to make healthy choice in selecting the foods they eat. This organization is doing an outstanding job educating our communities on various topics!
I want to take a moment to thank (the AnnieRuth Foundation) for presenting two workshops at the Mayor’s Young Leaders Advisory Council’s College, Career and Trades Fair. I just finished going over the surveys, and the students gave both of your presentations – “Understanding What Employers Want” and “Resume Development” – ratings of “excellent.” If the Advisory Council decides to host this event again next year, and I believe they will, you will be on the top of their invite list. Again, thank you for spending your Saturday helping Jacksonville’s young people gain valuable knowledge that will help them start and grow in their careers.
When I came to the workshop this morning, I didn’t know the topic. All I knew is that the AnnieRuth Foundation was hosting it so I knew I had to be here.
