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 allowed recipients to find other uses for the bags
that they received - especially those who were exposed to
weather elements or the need to be transient with their
belongings.
In August 2010, The Giving Heart continued its' mission to help
those in need by hosting a clothing and toiletry event called "Got
You Covered".
As an all-volunteer nonprofit organization, The Giving Heart relies
on the generosity of donors who wish to support and encourage
our mission. To make a tax-deductible donation, please send a
check to the mailing address noted above. Online donations are
also accepted through the "Just Give" link to the left.
