History
The Giving Heart, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, was launched in 2003
with the intent to distribute needed items to those in need
around the Greater Richmond Metropolitan Area. After the
demise of a local Thanksgiving event, The Giving Heart saw
the need to offer its' own version; encouraging anyone to
come to the table for food and fellowship. The Community
Thanksgiving Feast began our main distribution point for
putting needed items directly into the hands of those who
deserved them.
Among the donations received were items requiring a bag to
carry them. Our "Giving Bag Project" was born out of the
desire to give someone the means to bring items home from
our event - especially food and toiletries. Incorporating a
push for reusable bags in 2009 will allow recipients to find
other uses for the bags that they receive - especially those
who are exposed to weather elements or the need to be
transient with their belongings.
