Founded in 2020 by Katherine Andrews, HeART for Charity, Inc. 501(c)(3) works to create a positive impact on the mental health of underserved seniors and hospitalized children through art. With the help of our volunteers and partners we have donated thousands of original pieces of art, sent hundreds of coloring books to hospitalized children and hosted numerous HeART Parties, allowing us to leave a positive impact with hand-made art and coloring books and brighten the lives of thousands of people.
HeART for Children! is an annual project that creates a coloring book consisting of art made with love BY children, FOR hospitalized children. Inspired by Katherine’s 17-year-old cousin, Stella, who was diagnosed with B-Cell lymphoma, Katherine enlisted her peers at Westminster School and throughout the Atlanta community to donate line drawings complied in the coloring books. HeART has since created four volumes of books, and touched the lives of thousands of hospitalized children!
HeART for Seniors! was created in 2020 at the onset of the pandemic to brighten the lives of seniors living in isolation, separated from family and friends. Individual art creations were made and donated to senior living facilities across Atlanta. The art provided hope and joy for those that were not able to be with loved ones during those difficult times. HeART is passionate about continuing to give to our seniors in underserved communities and provide a little extra sunshine in their lives.
Katherine Andrews partnered with Dorothy Verner in 2021 to create the HeART Party! program. HeART parties are hosted across the greater Metro Atlanta area to help create art in a fun, creative environment. Art from the parties is gathered and donated around the community to local hospitals, schools and senior living facilities in underserved communities. In 2023, they expanded the program with Lead Volunteers.
