We are working as fast and as hard as we can to process donations. After the overwhelming support of items received this month, we are needing to clear space in our Sorting Room and need fewer items to come in for the next two weeks 💘 Thank you for your grace and understanding as we catch up 🌼

“It feels like heaven opened up in this one spot” ✨🌤️
— neighbor who walked in just to say thank you

This one minute conversation got me all choked up. Like a message in a bottle from the universe it felt like a privilege to receive his blessing and gratitude.

As I walked back to fill his water bottle with him, he didn’t ask but I noticed he had holes in his shoes and I grabbed 5 pairs off the shelf for him to use and share as he pleases. We were busy and it was such a brief interaction but I wanted to share his message so our community can hear his gratitude for all who give to and through our space.

To any teachers out there who need clothing for work or a stash of kids clothing in the classroom for students that come to class in need, our community wants to help. Fill out this 5-minute form to apply for a $50 shopping voucher at Heartening.

We coordinate $50 shopping trips, gifted from one neighbor to another. This year, over 750 Austin neighbors already received $50 shopping trips at Heartening gifted by another neighbor.

For neighbors in need of a boost, this is a form to apply for a free shopping trip for 15 free clothing items ($50 value) of your choice at Heartening (15 items from our warehouse would easily cost $300+ at the mall). Please note this is not a contest or drawing, this is only for neighbors in need.....
