The Heart Gallery
The Heart Gallery is a unique photographic exhibit that introduces children who are anxiously awaiting adoption by loving families. The compelling portraits in this exhibit, photographed by professional photographers, are designed to raise awareness of the hundreds of children in our community who are waiting for loving adoptive families.
Objective of the Heart Gallery
The portraits in this exhibit will open eyes and hearts to the needs of children in foster care and the many opportunities to love and serve them. With over 4,000 children in foster care in North Texas, and over 1,000 children currently waiting to be adopted, the needs of the children are great. There are so many different ways that people in your church can make a meaningful and lasting difference in the lives of these children. Hosting the Heart Gallery can help inspire your congregation to become involved.
The Heart Gallery Children
The pictures in the Heart Gallery are representative of the many children in our own community in need of loving families. For many reasons, including neglect, abuse and abandonment, these children have found themselves in foster care. However, these children possess a profound desire to love and be loved within the safety and security of a caring family. They are all children who long for a life of normalcy.
Open Your Doors to the Heart Gallery
We are inviting church congregations across North Texas to help raise awareness of these children and the many ways to love and serve them. Would you like to host the Heart Gallery too?
For more information, please contact us.
We displayed the heart gallery in our church lobby for three weekends. Over 90 people expressed interest in learning more about the Foster and Adoption community at The Village Church.
