Community Hearts are what 1000 Hearts is all about: inclusivity, accessibility and kindness. Stitched with love by volunteer Heartists from all over Australia (and sometimes other places too), these hearts are a symbol of hope for a better world. They're perfect for gifting at community events, gatherings and groups or sharing one at a time with loved ones or strangers.
You can receive free pocket hearts made by our community and/or you can help fund our free Community Hearts and spread the kindness even further.
Fund Free Community Hearts
Sales from the 1000 Hearts shop helps to support our Community Hearts program. If you would like to help cover the cost of our Community Hearts, you can contribute by funding free hearts. It takes a village, after all, and 1000 Hearts is not yet able to fund all the Community Hearts that are needed. You will 100% MAKE MY DAY by helping me to make these hearts available for everyone.
Cost is per heart, so please order as many as you would like to fund. Materials will be provided to volunteer heartists to make our free Community Hearts. Volunteers will receive pre-cut hearts, thread, needle, stuffing and instructions to make the hearts, which are returned to me for distribution.
Please note that when you fund free Community Hearts, you will not receive any hearts or materials yourself - they will be provided to Heartists who have volunteered to stitch for our Community Hearts program.
If you would like to receive some free heart-making supplies so you can make Community Hearts for 1000 Hearts to distribute for free, please email me to enquire: sarah@1000hearts.com.au
Please note that you will be charged postage for funding hearts - this covers the cost of posting the funded materials to our volunteers.
