In 2004, MHA CEO Michael Herrera created the Michael Herrera Family Foundation in memory of his father, the late Fred Herrera, to support needy school-aged children.
The charity was founded on the simple belief of “paying it forward” through the allocation of resources and funds to change children’s lives in a positive way.
What started out as simply purchasing school supplies at the beginning of each school year has expanded to ten different programs.
The Michael Herrera Family Foundation, a 501(c)(3) organization (Tax ID 46-2661399), efficiently uses it donations and ensures close to 100% of contributions go to the children.
