Our Story
Hearts For Heroes, Inc., was founded by husband-and-wife team, Todd & Jessi Sams, in 2019. Although we have been serving as volunteers on our local military base since 2006, it wasn't until 2019 that the Lord laid it on our hearts to start a nonprofit. In 2023, we felt we were to turn it into a 501(c)(3). Becoming a 501(c)(3) allows us to continue to do what we do, but on a much larger scale ~ due to the generous support of our donors.
​
At Hearts For Heroes, we know it is not just the service members who serve, but the entire family. We are truly blessed to be able to create experiences that bring families together, make precious memories and facilitate community involvement.
Some of the annual events include a Parent Child Ball, Tea Party, Children’s Christmas Party, Family Photos and sending Care Packages to our deployed Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, Marines & Coasties - filled with a lot of love from home! We are also able to assist the Chaplain Corps and Family Programs throughout the year with Strong Bonds events, Easter Eggstravaganza, Prayer Hikes, Yellow Ribbon events, Family Days, Back to School Drives, Thanksgiving Assistance, Christmas Assistance and by being a resource for immediate and unforeseen needs as they arise.
We hope to continue to support these events each year and add several new ones. Being able to provide multiple events throughout the year also creates opportunities for those in the civilian community to come alongside us and give back to those who have given so much.
It is our desire to continue to present opportunities that uplift and support our Military and Law Enforcement personnel and their families. They provide an invaluable service to our community and we will always seek to lighten their load as a “Thank You” for the sacrifices they willingly make every day.
We want them all to know WE SEE, WE CARE,
and most importantly WE ARE GRATEFUL!
