Zack Bonner was only 7 when he started the Little Red Wagon foundation to “help kids in distressed situations.”
He began doing community service in 2004, taking his little red wagon door-to-door, collecting fresh water for victims of Hurricane Charlie. In 2005 he started the Little Red Wagon Foundation. As his website says, “five years and lots of successful projects under our belt we are looking towards the future.”
Beliefnet.com voted Zack the Most Inspiring Person of 2009 and, on December 26th, he set off — on foot — from Tallahassee in an effort to become the youngest person to walk across the country. Along his approximately 2,473-mile route to LA, he and his team will visit programs for the homeless, with an eye toward raising both money and awareness on behalf of homeless kids.
According to Dreams for Kids Executive Director Tom Tuohy, children are the fastest growing homeless population.
You can follow Zack and his progress on his website’s “Zack tracker.”
