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. The Miss Heart of America Pageant was founded in 2008 as a food drive for a rescue mission whose pantry was low and with the support of local communities has blossomed into a National Pageant Program with Queens in over 30 states that have collected and distributed over 250,000 non perishable food items to non profit organizations.
