HEART TO HEART

Our HEART TO HEART Program has been in action for over a year now and has grown
tremendously.  Our recent expansion has been phenomenal.  
Heart to Heart is a completely
volunteer run organization whose sole purpose is to provide quality clothing and supplies to the
children that are in the Foster Care System, and the families that care for them.  It is our goal to
make sure that even with the traumatic events our children have been through, they have the
essential items they need.
We are in need of good condition clothing for our children that are 3
years old and up.  Thanks to the Children's Orchard, we have lots of
baby clothes.   Please spread the word.

The gift away was a great success, and we really want to THANK all of
the adults and Young Adults that helped us hanging a lot of clothing.
THANK YOU SO MUCH  !!!
Please don't forget.   Saturday, July 24th will be the
Heart to Heart Gift Away
Come and shop for the children in your care for FREE !!
