Mission We Are Washington is a community- based outreach program formed by the 501(c)(3) I Am A Hero, Inc. The program was founded to help unite the people of the community under the shared goal of investing in the lives of the youth of Texarkana, to help shape them into entrepreneurs and leaders who will eventually better the world in which they live. In the words of founder, Donald Reid, “The community owns Washington, so we are all Washington. You are Washington, your kids are Washington, the entire community is Washington.” Our mission is to help those in the community improve their lives, as well as the lives of others, by bolstering awareness for both children and adults in need. We accomplish this mission by funding/ supporting causes that meet the needs of those who call this community home by providing classes and programs, and hosting community events, Washington ensures that light is shed on the needs to be met in Texarkana and beyond.
Giving Opportunities
The majority of donations contributed to Washington Community Development Center go toward the funding of the plethora of activities and classes conducted at the school. Since WCDC has classrooms and sports leagues where students learn new skills and participate in team sports, there is always a need for more supplies and equipment to assist in furthering the development of the future of our community—today’s youth. To help support Washington’s mission, you can visit wearewashington.org and click the “Support Us” tab, then scroll to the bottom of the page to find the “Donate” button. Also, information about how to volunteer your time at WCDC can be found on this same page. Fundraisers & Events • Community garden opened in October
