Heartwood Center-January 8, 2025

Posted by Pat Ward

We visited The Heartwood Center, which serves as a resource hub for those in need. In 2021, the founders of New Roots, Inc. created Willow Foundation to fulfill the unmet need for a day shelter/drop-in center for individuals and families experiencing homelessness or at risk of homelessness in the Greater. The Center hosted our club to express their thanks for our recent donation and installation of a stove to serve their members.
