Attitude of Gratitude

It’s an appreciation for the good we find in others, recognition for the kindnesses others show us, and the way it makes us feel about ourselves and each other. At Heart Ministry Center, gratitude is something we feel every day. So much so that there’s a phrase for it – Attitude of Gratitude.

One of the many Mark-isms coined by former Heart Ministry Center chief executive officer, Mark Dahir, it’s a particularly appropriate theme for our holiday fundraising efforts. His unexpected passing earlier this year reminds us to appreciate every person, every day.

We have some pretty big goals.

Heart Ministry Center continues to grow in the services we offer and the support we’re able to provide to a community that might otherwise go without food, healthcare, dental care, mental health therapy, laundry, job skills and placement, money management, legal advice and the ability to live a life of self-sufficiency.

We want to expand our footprint to accommodate the growing needs of our community members. Some of these goals include:

  • Enhancing our mental health capabilities
  • Providing specialized pediatric care
  • Expanding our legal clinic
  • Increasing access to fresh and shelf-stable food items beyond the more than four million pounds distributed in 2023

Our thanks and gratitude to you.

The Attitude of Gratitude is real at Heart Ministry Center. Please give what you can to support our mission and see how we’re impacting our community every day.
