Logan’s Heart and Smiles has received a $30,000 Community Impact Grant from the Madison Community Foundation (MCF). With this grant, the volunteer-based nonprofit, helping construct accessible, safe homes for children with disabilities, is now able to hire its first full-time employee, Angela Wallace.

Wallace will step into the role of executive director in the coming months, where she will lead the organization alongside Logan’s Heart and Smiles founder, Joe Herr.

Founded in 2002, Logan’s Heart and Smiles has helped families in need throughout southern Wisconsin, having completed over 200 projects including custom home modifications such as ramps, fences, handrails, bathroom modifications, accessible walkways, safety fencing, and more. By bringing on paid staff, Logan’s Heart and Smiles can begin to increase the number of families it helps and better serve the Madison community.
