OUR MISSION
Within South Denton County, we see that the current purpose of Heart of the City is to aid with FOOD, CLOTHING, and LIFE-SKILLS COACHING. However as needs change, so will the programs of Heart of the City. We realize in a rapidly changing world, we must be able to change as well.

OUR MISSION
MEET OUR PRESIDENT/CEO
We see the potential of Heart of the City to be a model for loving, helping and serving local communities, led by local people, using local resources to make those communities better places to live, work and play. This model will be one that can be duplicated in every town all across the nation. And when this happens, we will find that each unique Heart of the City entity has the potential to truly be the HEART of each city and it will be a example of what it looks like to LOVE OTHERS.

Together We Can Accomplish More
Maybe you have been part of it.
Probably you have seen it.
Or surely you have heard or read about it.
How did Heart of the City start from nothing in 2019 and today be a major social services provider within South Denton County and beyond?
It took YOU, as one of almost 1,000 registered volunteers to be the hands and feet of all we do.
It took YOU, as one of a few hundred donors providing a financial base which fuels all we do.
It took our COMMUNITY of South Denton County and beyond to believe and embrace all we do.
Every one of YOU play a key role that has helped serve over 15,000 residents since 2019.
You wanted to “make a difference”, and you have.
You wanted to help “be the change”, and you did.
You wanted to embody “compassion lived out”, and you fully embraced it.
But, as a Christian, I know none of this could have been done by me, by you, by any of us without the inspiration, leading, and provision of GOD. I believe He chose YOU, me, and the hundreds of others to be the vessels (the hands, feet, and financial support) to LOVE, SERVE and HELP our neighbors. It is in His character to do this. It is also His love that leads the Heart of the City Team. We are fully aware we did not do this on our own. Pretty cool.
So, don’t stop believing, serving, and giving. What WE are doing together is AMAZING, is BIGGER than all of us, and is CHANGING families lives forever. Here we go…again!
TO GOD BE THE GLORY!
