We're excited to be partnering together with Polk County Sheriff's Office and many other providers in our community to "break the silos" to best serve our incarcerated individuals as they heal, recovery and re-enter successfully in our community!
Step right up and run for child abuse prevention at Loop the Lake Carnival Run! This 5K is hosted by Florida Southern College's Kappa Delta's to benefit Prevent Child Abuse America and Heartland for Children. Whether you run, skip or walk, this is going to be a fun evening for the entire family.
Foster families open their heart + home to love on our children who have experienced abuse and/or neglect. Let's show them love and appreciation this Valentine's Day!
Without conditions or reservations, I wholeheartedly endorse Heartland for Children as the Community Based Organization (CBC) serving abused and neglected children in Highlands, Hardee and Polk Counties.
The child welfare system has improved dramatically under the outstanding leadership of Heartland for Children. For nearly a decade, Heartland for Children has been delivering high-quality services to children and families in our communities. In fact, the system of care that was designed to protect child, our most precious resource, was not always responsive, nor highly respected, before Heartland for Children was selected as the first CBC, covering Highlands, Hardee and Polk counties.
