A Safer Way Home
When we visited Ms. Hoggart’s home in Gentry, Arkansas, we quickly saw that her front steps were more than an inconvenience—they were a safety hazard.

The bottom step had separated from the structure beneath it, causing it to rock and sit unevenly. More concerning was the narrow 13-inch step outside the door, with no landing. Even carrying a clipboard and water bottle, our team found that navigating the doorway required careful balance and attention. We could easily see how a small misstep could lead to a serious fall.

A simple repair would not have provided a lasting solution, so our volunteers got creative.

Thanks to the generosity of Mason Valley Baptist Church, funding was provided to make the needed improvements. One volunteer pre-cut all the lumber, and another returned to assemble the new steps and fill them with concrete for added stability. Because there was no existing structure to securely attach the steps to, the project required problem-solving and teamwork.

Together, our donors and volunteers turned a difficult situation into a safer, more functional entrance for Ms. Hoggart.

This is what happens when a community comes together—one project, two volunteers, and one generous gift at a time.

John Brown University students are back and we are thrilled! We often hear complaints about "this generation...." but let me tell you that these students not only worked hard serving Kind at Heart but all of our greater Siloam Springs.
They showed up and they showed up with smiles, laughter and a desire to make a difference. Every year a new group of Freshman get their feet wet in the area of service for our community. It is one of the many people things this University offers to the community we all are a part of.
And that difference was both seen and felt personally in the harvesting at the Legacy Garden last Friday as well as the grounds maintenance on the property.
It's the Head, Heart Hands service that makes a community a community no matter what the age bracket.
Thank you Freshman and Orientation Leaders!
Thank you JBU!

It might be a simple as a fresh coat of stain on an older ramp, but it brightens up and helps to make a home feel more cozy.
This is something that often an elderly couple or widow can no longer do themselves let alone afford to pay for it.
Volunteers give their time.
Donations provide the materials.
It takes both.
Would you consider donating either your time or resources to our community to make someone's home and life a little brighter?

🌱 Healthy aging starts with the basics—and good food is one of them.

Every harvest from our Legacy Garden represents more than tomatoes, peppers, sweet potatoes, or a basket full of fresh produce.

For the older adults we serve, nutritious food plays an important role in maintaining strength, energy, independence, and quality of life. But when you’re living on a fixed income, have limited mobility, or can no longer drive, getting fresh produce isn’t always simple.

That’s where the Kind at Heart Legacy Garden comes in. 💚

Throughout the growing season, our volunteers plant, w**d, water, harvest, pack, and deliver fresh produce at no cost to local seniors and individuals with disabilities.

And the best part? A delivery isn’t just about nutrition.

It’s also a knock on the door.
A friendly face.
A conversation.
A reminder that someone in their community sees them and cares.

🥕 Want to be part of it? We need volunteers to help in the garden, harvest produce, prepare baskets, and make deliveries. Whether you love getting your hands dirty or simply love people, there’s a place for you.

❤️ Want to help the garden grow another way? Sponsors and donors help provide the seeds, plants, soil, irrigation, tools, supplies, and resources that make these harvests—and these relationships—possible.

When you invest in the Legacy Garden, you’re investing in nutrition, connection, and healthier aging for our neighbors.

🌱 Grow food.
🤝 Grow relationships.
❤️ Grow a stronger community.

Message us to learn more about volunteering, sponsoring the Legacy Garden, or becoming a monthly Kind at Heart donor.

🥔 Funny Friday! 🐿️💛

If you’ve seen our latest Reel, you already know… Scrat from Ice Age would definitely approve of today’s harvest! 😂

While he’s been chasing one stubborn little acorn for years, we’ve been patiently waiting for our very first sweet potato harvest from the Kind at Heart Legacy Garden—and it was worth the wait!

The best part? These sweet potatoes aren’t headed to a grocery store…

They’re headed straight to the kitchens of local seniors we serve, completely free of charge.

Every sweet potato represents so much more than fresh food. It represents neighbors caring for neighbors, volunteers giving their time, and a community making sure our older adults know they are loved, remembered, and never alone.

From tiny slips planted months ago to meals shared around kitchen tables, this is what Kind at Heart is all about—growing hope, cultivating friendships, and honoring those who have spent a lifetime sowing into others.

Who knew a sweet potato could carry so much love? 🧡

🎥 Be sure to watch our Reel and cheer on Scrat as he celebrates a harvest worth getting excited about!

And if you want to help Scrat grow more sweet potatoes to deliver, feel free to donate on our website!

Imagine Christmas morning.

The nurses begin passing out stockings.

Doors open.

Smiles appear.

Some residents laugh.

Some residents cry.

Some simply whisper,

"Thank you."

This happens because our community chooses kindness long before December arrives.

Will you help us make sure every stocking gets filled?

🎄 Donate items

🎄It’s still Christmas in July here at Kind at Heart and would love you to Meet Someone We’re Serving:

🎄Last Christmas one woman who we will call Mary quietly told us,

“Nobody has given me a Christmas present in years.”

Those words have stayed with us.

What looked like “just a stocking” became one of the few gifts she received all year.

That’s why we do this.

Not because of the stocking.

Because everyone deserves to feel remembered.

Please help us to serve our own little community and turns frowns upside-down this Christmas.

We’ve made it easy to kickstart that this year with our shop directly from our Amazon Wishlist! https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/39KOSKJLJZQUI?ref_=wl_share

Or you can simply donate $30 for a stocking. Whichever is easier for you! Just please designate “Christmas in July” for your donation.
