Heartfelt Community Foundation provides compassionate listening, compassionate conversation, and compassionate touch to our elder family members. My father's health and wellness was significantly enhanced through weekly massages and conversation with the Heartfelt Community. When he moved into a nursing home, weekly visits from Heartfelt Community members added a continuity and fullness to his life that was immeasurable.
Ginger, founder and president of Heartfelt Community Foundation, holds regular training sessions so that others learn the importance of compassion and compassionate touch in keeping the elderly grounded and knowing just how important their lives have been. I will be forever grateful to Ginger and her commitment to creating, sustaining, and growing the Heartfelt Community so that many others will receive the care that they need as they age.
Heartfelt Community Foundation is and will remain part of my annual giving.
Heartfelt Community is an advocate for those in later life stages that need some companionship, compassion, and connection. In my opinion, the pandemic really brought to light the importance of all of these things, especially for someone aging alone. This organization is not only helping seniors and care givers, they’re also bringing awareness on the subject and training volunteers on compassionate touch and more. As a board member, I am proud to serve a non-profit that has so much compassion for our community. I love that this group is teaching me better ways to care for others.
Heartfelt Community is undeniably a service-based organization. Their presence in the local nursing homes produces happiness, joy and fulfillment. These are feelings we all strive for in our lives, but some aren't as privileged to receive. Their positive impact is measurable as the number of volunteer hours served, as well as the professional elder care services provided. Heartfelt Community is there, doing the work and changing lives. Thank you for everything you do!
My name is Donna Stell. I’m in the book and actually bought several for my family. The Heartfelt Community is an amazing organization, doing so much for our community, especially our seniors. They do such a wonderful job of connecting with the seniors of the community, letting them know they’re important, not forgotten. The Compassionate Touch hand massage classes are such a blessing to nursing home citizens and I would encourage everyone to take these classes and give some of your time to volunteer.
I founded Heartfelt Community after thinking about how to serve those in later stages of life who lack family advocates or those who lack financial resources to pay for such a service. We exist to bring compassion, comfort, pain relief and human connection and a simple, compassionate touch does wonders for the physical, emotional and socially isolated person. I am super proud of our board of directors and volunteers for making this dream a reality.
