The Miss Heart of America Pageant strives to provide our contestants with the opportunity to have fun, establish lasting friendships, build confidence, and self-esteem; all while encouraging them to get involved with organizations in their community, that benefit those in need.  Our Queens are involved at the local level with organizations like the humane society, the March of Dimes, Children's Hospitals, etc.

Our pageant began as a food drive for the Dothan Rescue Mission and blossomed into a National Pageant Program that has distributed nearly 20,000 non perishable food items to non profit organization, collected toys for the Houston County Toys for Tots Program and even assisted the Wiregrass Hope Center in Dothan, Alabama by collecting much needed baby items for their Women's Hope Center.
