Help Us Keep the HeART Bridge Standing Strong 

Lives Depend on It.💜

At CityHeART, we provide our community’s isolated and at-risk populations with resource support and opportunities to share their stories.

Our vision is simple but powerful: to ensure that our community members are seen, heard, and connected.

We believe that when people are invited to share their stories — and when those stories are met with empathy and compassion — healing begins, dignity is restored, and hope is possible.

Our mission is at the heART of everything we do: By wholeheARTedly loving our community and sharing its stories, we dignify and value everyone we serve.

Why This Matters

Every day, we see how much it means for someone to be welcomed into a space where their story is honored and their needs are met without judgment. Whether it’s providing a meal, connecting someone to resources, or amplifying voices through art and storytelling, CityHeART is a place where love shows up in action. This HeART is for REAL!

Strengthening the HeART Bridge 💜

CityHeART has always been here to fill the gaps: walking alongside case managers, frontline staff, and our most vulnerable neighbors to provide resources, dignity, and connection. We call this work the HeART Bridge: a simple but powerful way of showing up wholeheARTedly to help neighbors including Veterans, seniors, and families with children as they cross from stories of struggle told about them to stories of strength they tell for themselves. This bridge only stands because of the love and effort poured in by volunteers, staff, and partners like you, and now we need your help to strengthen it, so we can keep walking with our neighbors and ensuring no one has to make the journey alone.

The HeART Bridge is where volunteers, peers, and community members like you get to join frontline staff, not replacing their work but strengthening it, so that together we ensure our neighbors are seen, heard, and connected ... and that every story is dignified and valued.

This year, though, this bridge is under strain. Like many nonprofits, we’ve faced a season of overwhelming need, rising costs, and fewer resources. And while we’ve never stopped showing up for others, the truth is that we need significant support right now to keep the HeART Bridge standing strong.

Why Your Support Matters

When the bridge holds, families get fed, case managers get the backup they need, and our neighbors in crisis are met with compassion and care. When the bridge wavers, people's needs go unmet, and that’s something we can’t allow to happen.

Your gift today helps us:

• Keep shelves stocked with food, hygiene, and essential supplies,

• Provide emergency support when case managers call on us for help, and

• Create spaces where community members are not only served but also seen and heard.

To keep building dignity and connection in our community, we need to raise significant funds during this campaign. This is our moment to rally together, to strengthen the HeART Bridge, and to ensure that no neighbor, case manager, or service provider is left without support.

How You Can Help

💜 Give today to strengthen the HeART Bridge.

💜 Create your own fundraising page and invite your circle to join in.

💜 Share the mission so more people can help keep the bridge standing.

Together, we can make sure the HeART Bridge continues to hold. Because when it holds, everyone has a way forward.
