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.
We offer free phone, fax, and other essential services to the local community, while hosting mentoring, tutoring, summer camps, after-school programs, and cultural events.
Our regulation tennis court outside the building serves as home to The HOLLA! Eagles Tennis Team, providing athletic opportunities for local youth.
