Helping Every Area Resident To Succeed (HEARTS)

Why was HEARTS established?

We felt a need to respond to the increasing need for access to social services and resources for individuals and families desiring a better quality of life.

Who will we serve?

The HEARTS Organization serves individuals residing in Cleburne County who are either self-referred or referred by other means.

Eligible populations are individuals, families, children, youth, disabled and elderly of Cleburne County, as well as their caregivers, regardless of their marital status, race, sex, creed, national origin, veteran status, disabling condition, or cultural background/religious beliefs.

HEARTS provides appropriate services to eligible persons needing to increase their capacity to achieve independence and self-reliance, thus improving their dignity and self-worth within the community.



OBJECTIVES

HEARTS will strive to meet the basic needs within the capability of the organization and its resources.

HEARTS will develop positive working relationships with businesses, churches and social agencies to assist in expanding the available resources within the community.

HEARTS will facilitate an awareness of the people in the community of the goals of the center, the needs of people served and the resources available.

HEARTS will strive to help every area resident to become self-reliant, and thereby improving their ability to succeed.

How does someone get assistance from HEARTS?

Persons needing assistance may come to either HEARTS location and fill out a HEARTS application, which is required for all HEARTS services.

Upon receiving the completed HEARTS application and other required documents, a HEARTS volunteer will then assess the client’s needs and take action accordingly.
