ABOUT US

Heart Gallery North Florida began with community workshops in the summer of 2008 and resulted in the creation of a new state corporation in December 2008.

We operate 100 percent with volunteers, including individuals and partners that are willing to donate their time and efforts. Our work would not be possible without the strong support we receive from our community-based organizations. Every penny we received is used to fund the costs associated with adding children to the Heart Gallery and helping these children find homes.

If you have any questions regarding fostering or adopting, or if you would like to make a donation, please do not hesitate to contact us.
