He took his Christmas money that year and purchased survival supplies for the homeless gentleman and other homeless individuals in the area. His passion for assisting those who are less fortunate and without basic necessities sparked him to form his nonprofit organization, Ethan’s Heart Bags4Blessings. Ethan’s Heart provides services to address the immediate needs of the homeless and those at-risk of homelessness to deescalate the severity of malnutrition, ill-health, and death, while connecting them to services which lead to stable housing and helping to prepare them for independence.
Since 2016, Ethan has distributed over 2,800 care packages and sleeping bags. He has also provided other aid for those in need and partners with other agencies in the community to bridge services and to partner on several initiatives. He has been seen on Nickelodeon, The Kelly Clarkson Show, and has been featured in international and local news features. Ethan can also been heard on several podcast and radio shows. He has articles in Time Magazine, Southern Living Magazine, The Outdoor Magazine, The Reckon South Newsletter, and other printed mediums.
