All are welcome to join Holding Hearts Bloc

By Jen

Why we started HHB and how you can join us.

Holding Hearts Bloc started because people who all believe in the importance of being in community with our neighbors got together to do just that. A small group of us work throughout the week to gather resources like food and survival gear, and bring it to Lents Park each Wednesday and give it out to anyone who needs it. A lot of the people who come to the picnic each week are our unhoused neighbors, and it’s awesome that as we have shown up week after week for over a year in Lents Park, relationships have formed and our neighbors know the can count on us to be there to spend time together.

If you have thought about how you can dial into your community and help people with immediate needs, being part of Holding Hearts may be just what you’re looking for. Reach out on our Instagram or send a form though this website. The world is hard and it is heavy. Action really is the antidote to despair.
