Get involved with your local Heart Gallery
At Heart Galleries of Texas, we connect communities, families, and children to help children in foster care find permanent families. You can make a real difference in a child’s life by getting involved with your local Heart Gallery. Here’s how:
Help us raise visibility for children waiting for adoption by hosting or promoting a Heart Gallery exhibit, sharing online campaigns, or connecting us with local media. Find your local HG on the map below!
Volunteer your photography skills to capture children’s portraits and tell their stories in a way that inspires families to take action. Find your local HG on the map below!
Assist with post-adoption events, mentorship programs, or peer support opportunities to strengthen families after adoption. Find your local HG on the map below!
Join an information session, webinar, or community meeting to understand how adoption works in Texas and how you can help children find forever families.Â
