Little Red Wagon Foundation

The Little Red Wagon Foundation is a non-profit charity that raises money and collects supplies for children in need.

Founded in 2005 by Zach Bonner, the organization has raised thousands of dollars to build apartments for the needy.

Pulling his little red wagon, he went to neighboring households and collected 27 truckloads of disaster supplies, including tarps and water.

He established the organization "[t]o continue helping kids more efficiently"[3] and because federal law restricted how many donations he could receive.

[7] The walk raised over $7,000 to help pay for a Habitat for Humanity home for a homeless family in Macon, Georgia.

[8] In 2009, Zach Bonner went on a walk from Atlanta, Georgia, to the White House to raise money to build apartments for the 1.3 million homeless children in the U.S.[9] The trip had a projected cost of $6,000.

[7] Bonner said that he was going on the walk because "[t]hirteen kids on average die everyday for no other reason than the effects of being homeless.

[24] The foundation aims to start a resource center in Tampa, Florida so that children can receive food and clothes and use computers.

Tumbleweed's outreach service for homeless youth impressed Bonner who planned to model his own resource center in Tampa after it.
