Habit of the Heart Fund

The endowed Habit of the Heart Fund helps Hendricks County women and children in emergency need. To date, the Fund has provided over $65,000 in granted for needs which include eye glasses, hearing aids, dental work, clothing and other essential items.

The application process is designed to be easy. When a classroom teacher, school nurse or guidance counselor identifies a child in need, they simply fax a Student Emergency Request Form (found at right) to the Community Foundation. The Community Foundation can award grants up to $250 within a week for those meeting necessary criteria. Other grants are taken under consideration by the Habit of the Heart Grant Committee.

2009 Habit of the Heart Weekend -- pictures

 

"[With funding from the Habit of the Heart]... He did complete his coursework and graduate with his classmates...the mother cried [when I told her]... it meant graduation...it's going to change their lives."

        -Guidance Counselor

“In the spring of 2005, Johnny was fitted with neon green hearing aids that would allow him to be a more effective student. As of today, he is enrolled in the talented and gifted class, is consistently on the honor roll and is an asset to our school community.”

        -Guidance Counselor

 

The Habit of the Heart Committee works year-round to raise money for the Fund and holds its annual Habit of the Heart Weekend each year in September.  In 2009, the Habit of the Heart Weekend raised a remarkable $63,000 to benefit Hendricks County women and children in emergency need as well as the Hendricks County Community Foundation.

The next Habit of the Heart Weekend will be September 9 & 10, 2011. For further information or to volunteer for or donate to the event, contact the Hendricks County Community Foundation at 718.1200 or info@hendrickscountycf.org.
