Where your donation goes

Hearts 4Kids runs one center in one town. That focus means gifts turn into concrete, visible care for the same children week after week.

Food distribution

Gifts stock the pantries and church distributions that put groceries within walking distance of colonia families.

Health screens and referrals

Gifts cover supplies for free community health screens and the referrals that get uninsured residents into a Valley clinic.

School supplies and kids’ programs

Gifts buy backpacks, notebooks and shoes, and fund the kids’ clubs and Vacation Bible Schools hosted at partner churches.

Home repair materials

Gifts buy the roofing, sheetrock, siding and paint that mission teams turn into a dry, safe home for a colonia family.
