But Annie Potts is hooked on helping others-she's very hands on-and she's here to tell us about that part of her life. In doing so, she inspires us with her commitment and challenges us to "turn the car around." Annie's charitable organization, The Heart Channels, provides direct support quickly and creatively to people at critical crossroads in their life. Its mission reflects what Annie witnessed growing up-that wherever there was a need, people opened their hearts and quietly stepped in to help however they could. The Heart Channels also mirrors Annie's belief that we are one human family, no matter where on the planet we are. By opening our eyes to the needs of others, we can respond lovingly and immediately-neighbor to neighbor and heart to heart. Please consider helping out. All donations to The Heart Channels-100%-are tax deductible and go directly to people in need. See less
