About
Kids 360 is a non-profit entity created by JOH. The vision of giving back to the community was woven into the fabric of JOH by the founder, Harry O’Hare. Harry spent a lifetime giving back to those less fortunate. It is this inspiration that launched the concept of Kids 360.
Kids 360 takes a 360 degree approach to a child’s life. Whether it is providing clothes, food, toys, medical support or school supplies, the monies raised go directly to carefully selected children’s charities. Click here for charity criteria.
Kids 360 is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization registered with the United States Internal Revenue Service.

The overall mission of the Network of Executive Women (NEW) is to attract, retain and advance women in the retail and consumer products industry through education, leadership and business development.
Knowing that female colleagues in the food brokerage industry were few and far between, Bobbie O’Hare decided to establish the New England chapter of NEW. Her mission was to help other women in the region break through the barriers of a male-dominated industry. After starting the New England chapter in 2003, she developed the Metro NY and Northwest Arkansas chapters. She then went on to establish 15 of the 20 regional NEW chapters, making it the powerhouse national organization it is today.
NEW has grown by leaps and bounds over the years, and Bobbie has been joined by a number of female JOH'ers who have proudly taken on leadership roles within their regional chapters.
