Birthday Sponsorship Program

Do you remember your birthdays as a kid? The party, the presents, the cake, the excitement?! SO MUCH FUN! Unfortunately, not every child gets that same experience, so we want to step in to help. Through our donors and sponsors, we are able to get gifts to make every child’s birthday a memorable one. If you need help making your child’s birthday special this year, click here.

Whether you need a warm meal or crave time with your community, Wednesday Night Warm Hearts Community Meals is here for you. Meals will be available from 4:00 pm - 6:00 pm CST to anyone in need. Just show up. If you are in a position to help, whether it’s dropping off food you’ve made or ordered or making a financial contribution toward us purchasing meals, you can do so here. We expect 60 - 100 individuals to come per event, so any help you can provide is more than appreciated!

Resource Center

2024 Launch: March

We know what it’s like to have encountered tough times, but we want to remind you that whatever you’re going through today doesn’t have to be permanent.

Our new resource center will officially be open to the public in February of 2024. Here, you can use our laptops to apply for jobs, create resumes and apply for other local and government financial assistance you may not even know you’re eligible for at this time. We can also help you create a budget, set up a phone plan and more.
