Our Story

Every summer since 1997, my husband and I have hosted a small family gathering in our backyard. By the year 2000, this modest affair blossomed into an annual bash that included friends and family, growing larger each year. Realizing the potential to make a positive impact, we decided to invite our guests to help us give back to the community. Over the years, we have organized collections for local pantries, gathering canned goods and non-perishable foods, as well as coats, hats, gloves, and scarves for the homeless, and toys for children in need. In 2016, our passion for helping others culminated in the formation of the Homeless Heart Foundation Inc., a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting those less fortunate in our community. Through this initiative, we continue to unite our loved ones in a shared mission to make a difference.

Through the dedicated efforts of numerous volunteers, local businesses, and generous vendors, we have been able to expand our outreach to a wide array of individuals in our community. This collaborative spirit not only amplifies our message but also fosters a sense of unity and support among participants. By connecting with people from diverse backgrounds, we aspire to make a meaningful impact on their lives, offering assistance, compassion, and understanding. Our hope is that, through these connections, we can touch a few hearts, inspiring positive change and nurturing a sense of belonging. Together, we are committed to creating a lasting difference, demonstrating the power of community and the profound effects of kindness in action.
