Inspired by Frederick Douglass' words, "It is easier to build strong children than to repair broken men," HOLLA! works tirelessly to level the playing field for underprivileged youth in Anson County.
Thanks to The Golden Leaf Foundation, our 1920's hardware store was transformed into a state-of-the-art resource center with a commercial kitchen, café, media center, activity rooms, and office spaces.
