Where we came from.

THE ELLEN SHOW!

Our founder was recognized by Ellen!

Stan The Man stands for kindness! Our founder learned many hard lessons at a young age with the loss of his father but has been able to turn that tragedy into a passion for helping children. His father had an ambitious and hard-working spirit that he shared with his son. Stan grew up supported by strong service-minded mentors just like Stan the Man Sr.! Uncles, teachers, even local community members picked up where his father left off! He now strives to become one of those important community members himself by sharing free books with children and teaching them the importance of connecting with others through kindness!
