HEARTSPRING - KANSAS STATE COUNCIL PHILANTHROPIC PROJECT


HEARTSPRING

Supported by the Kansas State Council since 1949
Heartspring's mission in partnership with parents professionals and the community, is to help children with special needs grow and learn on a path to a more independent life. ESA helps to promote the programs and mission of Heartspring by donating their dollars, gifts-in-kind and personal time. In addition our organization holds the "Day of Love" and Prom, which entertain and gives the children attending Heartspring opportunities and experiences they might not otherwise have. Heartspring’s belief is that all children can learn, adapt and succeed with appropriate levels of support in a happy, safe and nurturing environment. Heartspring pursues this mission through the Heartspring School, Heartspring Pediatric Services, Heartspring World Reach and Heartspring CARE (Community of Autism Resources and Education). Heartspring School serves students ages 5-21 with multiple disabilities including autism, mental retardation, Down syndrome, visual/hearing impairments and behavior disorders. Both residential and day school services are available. Heartspring Pediatric Services offers outpatient physical, occupational, speech-language therapies, hearing services, behavior intervention, educational testing for children, and free developmental screenings.

Save those General Mills box top labels and turn them in. 
DON’T THROW THOSE LABELS IN THE TRASH!
The “Labels for Cash” program continues to expand each year. And putting those labels in the trash is like throwing away CASH that could go to Heartspring. They only accept General Mills Box Tops!
In addition to ESA's support of Heartspring through the Adopt a Student Program, Box Tops for Education, Day of Love in February, we assist with other Heartspring events.
