Tameka Caldwell (President) and Pam Vujovich (Coordinator of Heart 2 Heart)

This is our second school year working with the Heart 2 Heart store in Maywood, IL.

Pam Vujovich is the Coordinator of the Heart 2 Heart. This store is available to the families of students who are served through the West40 programs. West40 is an Intermediate Service Center that serves the school districts in Western Cook County. Heart 2 Heart store supplies only BRAND NEW items to their families at no cost.

Pam (Ms. V.) has spent most of her life addressing the needs of the less fortunate and vulnerable. She has served underserved populations in a variety of ways for years. Her current program, the Heart 2 Heart store, is a "passion project." "It breaks my heart to know that some of our students and their families have to do without things that many people take for granted - even daily essential items," she reports. Knowing that we are surrounded by significant needs, she declares this work a mission not a job.
