My daughter and I volunteered with the AnnieRuth Foundation; we gave out healthy snacks and back-to-school backpacks. It was very rewarding giving to the children. The Annieruth Foundation is amazing. We are looking forward to helping out again very soon.

I genuinely thank the AnnieRuth Foundation and Ms. Dee as this summer internship only made my summer a million times better. Without this program and these lessons, I believe my knowledge of building a career, connecting with people, and more, would have been very minimal. Thank you once again, for this unforgettable experience!

Thank You for participating as a speaker at our 2013 Learn2Earn session. Your connection with the students was overwhelming. You were inspiring and extremely motivating in your interactions.

Thank you for making a difference in a child’s life!

The Annieruth Foundation came to my school, S.P. Livingston, last spring and did a Health & Nutrition program for our 5th grade students.

Students and staff alike were thrilled with the program and the students talked about it for days! I’m looking forward to setting it up again this year.

Participating in the AnnieRuth Foundation internship program was instrumental to preparing me for a successful future as it has provided me many opportunities to meet with doctors, nurses, and other professionals in the medical field personally. In addition to their teachings and support, they have provided letters of recommendation for future use. This program will greatly help my chances of getting accepted into the University of Florida.

The Annie Ruth Foundation is a passionate organization, catering to addressing and helping to resolve issues surrounding youth, young adults, seniors, academics, poverty, and the social climate within the community. I have had the pleasure of working with its Founder, Ms. Dee Wilcox. Her commitment and dedication is contagious! She has just the right combination of humility, compassion and spunk to lead this organization to the next level. I am truly a fan and supporter of the AnnieRuth Foundation.

My experience at Pediatric Care Center was amazing! I am so thankful for the AnnieRuth Foundation because they gave me a chance to see (first hand) what I will be doing for the rest of my life; helping children. I never thought I would be selected but when I received the call, I was so happy and so thankful words still cannot describe how blessed I feel to have had this opportunity!
