When our Heart of Hope Project first began, we placed Hearts of Hope throughout our communities for others to discover. You might have found one tucked inside a library book, resting on a bookshelf, waiting on a park bench, or left in another special place where our hearts led us to leave it. The goal was simple: to brighten someone's day and remind them that they matter.

Over time, the Heart of Hope Project continued to grow. Today, Hearts of Hope are still shared throughout communities by volunteers who believe in spreading kindness, encouragement, and hope. We also provide Hearts of Hope directly to individuals who request one for themselves or to volunteers who wish to participate in the project and share them with others.

 

If you receive a Heart of Hope, please know this:

We see you.

Whether you requested it yourself, received it from one of our volunteers, or discovered it unexpectedly, your Heart of Hope was placed intentionally. It was not dropped by accident. It was not left without purpose. Each Heart of Hope carries a simple but powerful reminder: U MATTER BUDDY.

Sometimes we all need a reminder that we are seen, valued, appreciated, and important. That is the purpose of every Heart of Hope we share.

This is not random.

This is hope, placed with purpose.
