Donate Funds
The families we serve are in transition. Most often, they’re exiting a shelter or other temporary housing, emerging from domestic violence situations, or arriving in the United States after fleeing persecution or war. Their needs are great. Thank you for helping us care for them.
hearts+homes’ operations are funded by individual gifts, charitable grants, and corporate sponsorships. We currently have one active fundraising campaign and Amazon and Walmart Wish Lists if you’d like to support the ministry. Check them out below.
Join us in furnishing fresh starts.
This campaign supports the ministry’s daily needs. It includes everything from tools and refinishing supplies, to infrequently donated necessities for the families we serve, to rent/utilities on our 2,700-sq. ft. ministry home where we house our inventory and our volunteers’ workshop.
​
Your support of this campaign ensures we continue to move full speed ahead in furnishing fresh starts.
Small purchases make a big difference.
The households we furnish are fully equipped and functional the moment the family walks through the door. Nearly all of the items we use are gently used donations, but there are some things that are rarely donated yet still needed. Examples include things like measuring spoons, trash cans, laundry baskets, batteries, light bulbs, and food prep knives. Our Amazon Wish List also includes frequently used supplies for upcycling and refinishing furniture, along with a few remaining needed tools.

Your purchases through our Wish Lists help ensure each household has all a family needs to thrive.
Expansion Campaign
Help us grow in 2025 by giving in 2024.
Our team often thinks of hearts+homes like a little kid... growing, learning, figuring things out. We moved from organizational infancy in year 1 to being a toddler getting our footing in years 2–3. When we turned 4 this year, we celebrated being a preschooler: eager, independent, ready to try new things. Our Board challenged us to enjoy the present but to begin planning for the future. And while most 4-year-olds may not be thinking about things like Expansion, Leadership Development, and Strategic Planning, this one is. Our Expansion Campaign provides the working capital needed to increase our square footage of inventory and work space, train our volunteers for leadership roles, and add necessary operational elements (like a utility sink, a washer/dryer, etc.) to help us maximize efficiency. Our Expansion Campaign goal is $12,000 by December 31, 2024.

Thank you for helping us create a sustainable model that brings hope to families emerging from crises for decades to come.
Box Truck Campaign Complete
Thank you for helping us move full speed ahead.
Our campaign to acquire a hearts+homes box truck is now complete, and what a story it is! We launched the campaign on Giving Tuesday 2023, quickly raising $16,000 toward a goal of $45,000 through generous donations from around the country. While $16,000 is a lot of money, it wasn’t enough to make the purchase. Then something extra special happened....
Christian music artist and American Idol alum Danny Gokey’s nonprofit Better Than I Found It heard about our needs and stepped in to generously fill the gap. In honor of our 4th birthday, they selected a beautiful box truck for us, wrapped it with our brand, and made arrangements for its transportation from Texas to New Jersey.
But that’s not all. Danny's fans participated too by purchasing tools and supplies via an Amazon Wish List to create "Go Kits" for our installation projects.
​
To top it all off, Danny and his team traveled to Cranbury to celebrate our birthday and personally present this incredible gift to our hearts+homes volunteers. God’s provision and grace continue to leave us in awe.
