Who We Are
Our mission is simple: meet practical needs, restore dignity, and build community for foster families.
The idea for Borrowed Hearts grew from seeing foster families struggle to meet immediate needs when children arrived with little more than what they were wearing. What began around a dining room table is now a community-supported nonprofit.
Read Our History
Donated items are arranged in a store-like setting so foster families can “shop” at no cost. The goal is to provide dignity and choice while easing the financial burden of care.

Our Future
We are expanding our vision to provide even deeper support. The Agape House will be a sanctuary for families and children in crisis—a place of rest, reunification, and restoration.
