"I was hungry and you fed me, I was thirsty and you gave me a drink, I was homeless and you gave me a room, I was shivering and you gave me clothes, I was sick and you stopped to visit, I was in prison and you came to me... Whenever you did one of these things to someone overlooked or ignored, that was me - you did it to me."

​- Matthew 25:35-36, 40

Share in the Mission

While cash donations are always welcome, and your time and talents are greatly appreciated, there are many other ways you can share what you’ve been blessed with. Here are just a few ideas of ways to pass on your abundance to those in need:

• Plant an extra row in your vegetable garden and share the harvest with Hearten House.
• Donate meat from a successful hunting season or from your livestock.  Contact “Hoosiers Feeding the Hungry,” https://www.hoosiersfeedingthehungry.org/ a state-wide program that allows you to choose Hearten House as a recipient.
• Run a Hearten House donation drive at your workplace, church or school to collect non-perishable food, paper products or gift cards.
• Donate items to be used in a silent auction at our annual "Hope for the future" gala.
• Shop (and encourage others to shop) at smile.amazon.com and a portion of your purchase will be donated to Hearten House Gospel Rescue Mission.
