BACK TO SCHOOL  |  CHRISTMAS  |  FOOD PANTRY  |  FIELD-TRIPS & SPORTS
 

 WHO ARE WE?
        That's an excellent question.  We are just common ordinary people who believe that the fate of
    our children is the fate of our community.  We have gathered together to follow a simple vision;
    to  promote the growth an maturity of our children by assisting them at their points of need.

        Presently, our principle activity consists of creating an effective means of facilitating the
    physical,   emotional, and intellectual growth of the children within our area of influence.

        Our Current Objectives Are:
            ●  Scholastic Scholarships to award excellence and community involvement in high school.
            ●  Athletic Sponsorships and Equipment to provide every child an opportunity
                 to participate in sports.
            ●  Creation of Summer Activity Programs to educate and inspire.
            ●  Creation of After School Programs for those children and families in need.
            ●  A Christmas Program to ensure every child has a merry and blessed Christmas.
            ●  A Back to School Program to ensure that every child has the necessary supplies for school.

         
          During the summer months, while the kids are enjoying their vacation from school, we're just
     getting started.  We spend our summer, gathering supplies and whatever we know kids are going
     to need to go back to school.  Every year, we try to ensure every student going back to school
     has school supplies and a backpack to go back to school with.  School supplies are distributed
     to the schools as needed throughout the school year as well.
                WHAT CAN YOU DO?
               ●  Help sponsor a child going back to school.  The estimated cost is $75.00 a student.
               ●  Donate school supplies or new clothes for one or several children. 
                    Call or email us for drop-off locations.
               ●  Make a monetary donation of any size.  Mail checks to P.O. Box 963, Burleson, TX 76097

         
          Most children would tell you that Christmas is their favorite holiday.  Why not?  Everyone
     enjoys receiving gifts.  We get just as much enjoyment out of giving families a promise of a
     Christmas.  The way we look at it, how can we enjoy our Christmas, when we know somewhere
     in our own community a child has no gifts to open, because their family just couldn't afford it.
     Every Christmas Heart for the Kids provides hundreds of children with the gifts they want, and a new
     set of clothes.
               SO HOW CAN YOU HELP?
             ●  Maybe your family or office would like to "adopt" a child or an entire family. 
                  Call or email us for information.
             ●  Drop off new toy and new clothing donations at any of our many drop-off locations.
             ●  No matter the size, monetary donations are always appreciated. 
                  Mail checks to P.O. Box 963, Burleson, TX 76097

         
          This is the latest program for Heart for the Kids to get involved with.  For years HFTK has
     provided   food to the families that we served at Thanksgiving and Christmas.  Beginning in
     January 2011, we have expanded to keep the shelves stocked and families fed through-out the
     year.  The center will open once a month to hand-out food to those deserving families. 
     Emergency food cases will be handled though-out the month.
              WE NEED YOUR HELP!
           ●    As we continue to operate this program, monthly, our shelves will need to be restocked.
           ●    Food donations may be brought to Living Water Church/Day School
           ●    Monetary donations to help us buy the supplies we are low on, is always appreciated.
                  Mail checks to P.O. Box 963, Burleson, TX  76097.  Or drop off at Living Water Church.

         
          Through out the year, we get calls from the schools and other organizations asking us to
     help sponsor a child's school field trip, sports equipment and/or physicals as required by the
     schools.  We do our best to fulfill those requests that we feel helps mold that child for a brighter
     future.  We have worked with the Burleson Police Department, Burleson Fire Department,
     Burleson Independent School District, Burleson Youth Association, American Red Cross,
     Child Protective Services as well as many other local organizations that have requested
     our assistance for someone they know needs help.  These projects often have to funded through
     our general fund.  Without the help of local companies, that contribute year-round to our
      organization, we would not be able to fulfill very many these requests, through out the year.

If your company is one of many looking for opportunities to give back,
suggest they look in to Heart for the Kids!  We strongly appreciate the help of
everyone in our community, that adds to our success!
