Will's mitzvah project
Good Will Across America began as Will Biscardi's Bar Mitzvah project — a cross-country RV journey to support 13 nonprofits in communities across the nation. What started as a personal act of service has grown into an ongoing initiative, inspiring others to give back and proving that one young person really can change the world.
