Heart Gallery of North Texas

Get Involved

It takes a caring community to help a child find a permanent, loving home. Discover all the ways you can be part of that life-changing journey.

Not Everyone Can Open Their Home—But Everyone Can Open Their Heart.

Every child deserves love, stability, and a place to call home—and you have the power to help make that happen. Whether you can give a few minutes or a few hours, there are countless ways to get involved. From volunteering your time, making a donation, or simply sharing a child’s story with your community, your support creates real change. Not everyone can open their home, but everyone can open their heart and be part of a child’s journey to a forever family.

Icon Heart Ways to Get Involved

Host a Gallery

You don’t need a gallery wall to make an impact. From local businesses to large events, the Heart Gallery can go wherever people gather—bringing the faces and stories of children in foster care into the heart of your community.

The exhibit is:

  • Incredibly flexible: Display portraits on display stands, tabletops, walls, or digital screens
  • Customizable in format and time: Host for a day, a week, or more—indoors or outdoors, physical or virtual
  • Fit for any space: We’ve installed exhibits in airports, salons, cafes, restaurants, schools, libraries, festivals, places of worship, doctor’s offices, gyms, government buildings, and corporate headquarters
  • A conversation starter: Wherever people are, the Heart Gallery creates meaningful opportunities to learn, reflect, and take action

If your space welcomes people, it can welcome the Heart Gallery. Help us bring visibility to children waiting to be adopted—and maybe help them take one step closer to finding a forever family.
