👟 THANK YOU FOR MAKING HAPPY FEET A WONDERFUL DAY!

Because of the generosity of our donors and the service of many dedicated volunteers, approximately 125 local children received new shoes and socks through the 2026 Happy Feet Project. Each child also received a gift bag containing books, small toys and stuffed animals.

These photos show the volunteers preparing for guest arrival and just some of the shoes, socks and gift bags prepared for the children before families arrived.

Heart & Hands Ministries is deeply grateful to First Baptist Church of Salado for hosting the event, First Blessing for its partnership, and every individual, church, business and community organization that donated, volunteered, prayed or helped spread the word.

Together, you helped make local children and their families feel welcomed, cared for and supported. We are truly blessed to serve in such a generous community!

❤️ Please share this post so others can see what our community accomplished together.

Heart and Hands Ministries would like to thank all who participated in our Apple Tree “Back to School Clothes” project. Because of your generosity 187 kids in our communities are going back to school with a new outfit and a smile. Thanks so much!!

07/29/2026

We need our community to step up for local kids!

This year, nearly 175 students are registered through the Apple Tree Project and need help with a new back-to-school outfit — more than double last year’s need!

Sponsors can select a child and purchase one top and one bottom to help them start the school year with confidence.

Time is short — the final drop-off day is August 5 (at the Food Pantry)

Sign up here:

Or scan the QR code on the flyer to get started.

Thank you for helping Heart & Hands Ministries support students in the Salado, Holland, and Bartlett school districts!

07/27/2026

We hope you will join in sending the kids back to school in style with a new outfit!

Heart and Hands Ministries is collecting one new outfit per child. Please provide one top and one bottom only for your selected child. (Shoes will have their own Project in October)
