“Open Your Heart helped create our volunteer space for our food recovery efforts. Because of this investment, we have a space to process produce and package meals for people in need around the region. Every week, we gather to help save food and feed people. Thank you from South Central Minnesota Food Recovery!”

“When a survivor of domestic violence reaches out in crisis, every minute matters. Thanks to Open Your Heart Foundation’s generous support, we can say “yes” to more survivors by providing immediate emergency shelter during their most vulnerable moments.  We are deeply grateful to Open Your Heart for investing in the safety of domestic violence survivors in our communities.”

Colleen Chapin, Executive Director

“Thank you for the reminder! Partnering with Open Your Heart has been such a blessing to our work at Coated in Love, especially in helping us provide essential winter supplies for our annual 3000 Acts of Kindness event.

Open Your Heart’s funding went directly toward purchasing critical items like coats and boots, allowing us to serve thousands of our neighbors experiencing homelessness with the dignity and care they deserve. Your support truly helps us reach the unseen and make a lasting impact in our community.”

“Open Your Heart is one of the greatest organizations we ever worked with. For the last ten years or so, Open your Heart has been providing grants to help us with the work we do in our community.

Thank you Open your Heart for everything you do to make the community better.

May the Lord bless you with another 40 years of service.”

Reverand Paul Aladin
