Happy New Year from Heart to Heart International!
It’s 2024, and we’re bursting with energy (and maybe a few extra holiday cookies) to keep helping people in need around the world. And we couldn’t do it without YOU! Your belief in our mission and your generous support fuel our every step, turning your donations into life-changing aid for families facing hardship.
We’re kicking off the year with some incredible initiatives that you can learn more about below, plus all our ongoing programs are in full swing! From delivering vital medicines to supporting disaster-affected communities, we’re working to make a difference every day.
But remember, none of it is possible without your support. Every dollar donated, every hour volunteered, every kind word said keeps us going. So, a giant THANK YOU from the bottom of our hearts (and cookie-filled bellies)!
