Fighting The Effects Of Poverty

As of January 2021, 14% of Houstonians are living in poverty, with 1 in 3 households categorized as single parent homes and 1 in 4 families struggling to make ends meet, despite being employed. We believe that fighting the effects of poverty requires cooperation and active engagement, and lower poverty rates translate to reduced crime, improved community health, and greater academic achievement, all of which set a standard for growth and success moving forward.

Our History

Creating Relationships

Formed in January 2021, Linking Hearts was built on the premise that real change comes from creating relationships, not just the provision of services. Bridging the gap between providing an initial service and assisting those in need for the long term is what drives our organization and informs our programming. We maintain a connection with all of our clients and work hard to support every program participant.

Donations

Services and Resources

As a 100% percent volunteer force, we rely on donations and contributions from our partners to meet our organizational goals. Donations serve the local community so every contribution and every dollar counts. We believe that availability and access to everyday goods and services go a long way toward improving lives, so food drives for those in food deserts or clothes and furniture for families rebuilding their lives can have effects that extend beyond what we give today.

About Our Organization

Linking Hearts is a Houston, TX-based 501c3 nonprofit organization and a nexus for disparate communities and organizations. Our goal is to connect those with resources to those in need, through charitable giving, and the facilitation of network management. We seek to build bridges between community stakeholders with the mission of providing underserved populations assistance and a path forward for future success.

Programs

We work with private donors and established organizations to offer our programs free of charge. Our organization also works directly with the community and our participants to build and improve perimeters and evaluation methods through consistent engagement and yearly surveys.

As a first step, Linking Hearts connects those seeking assistance to those with the appropriate resources. This includes large-scale services like help with housing issues, and smaller simple services like connections for grooming, proper attire, and education for job interviews.

The program's second step involves a system of continued monitoring to ensure that participants have the tools to assist themselves. For participants battling addiction, this includes standards and protocols to avoid relapse.

With this two-part system, Linking Hearts aims to assist participants as a primary connection during the initial phase, and an ancillary connection in the second phase, with follow-up sessions to ensure success.

In our efforts to be a consistent, valuable resource throughout our communities, we partner with like minded organizations and individuals to increase our pool of resources and provide services like mental health support, educational training, seminars (monthly), job interview resources, and counseling recommendations.

Become A Partner

From transportation services and back-to-school drives to community liaison partnerships, our mission is connection and our partners are the most vital component. We are always in search of those willing to donate resources as an organization, family, or individual because building a strong, multi-service network is our continuing goal.
