About The Heart Supply:

The Heart Supply’s aim is to give kids the gift of riding their own skateboard and welcome them to the skateboarding community. We believe that the freedom, cultural diversity, and friendships developed from skateboarding are invaluable. Riding a skateboard is a creative, physical activity that sees no color, inspires equality, and builds self-esteem and awareness. Putting skateboards under kids feet allows them to roll towards positive opportunities and a happier, healthier life.

A portion of @theheartsupply proceeds is used to give skateboards to kids and to plant trees.
