Our vision:
To Meet Real Needs.
One Heart is a non-profit that exists to meet needs of kids in lower income and at risk neighborhoods. We do this through providing tangible and intangible needs. From shoes to relationships, we strategically invest in them to offer opportunities that will instill hope and purpose in them now and for their future.
Dream with us. Serve with us. Give with us.
Our Mission
One Heart exists to meet the real needs of kids living in some of the poorest zip codes in Washington State. Many of our kids and their families didn’t ask to live in the situations and seasons of life they are in; however, this is their reality. As opposed to simply allowing problems to persist we believe we can help be part of an answer that would meet their needs today while investing in their futures.

Our Programs
Everything we do is to help answer the question, “How can we meet the real needs of kids in our city?” So far, here’s where we see a difference being made:
AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAM
Our center serves kids who may not get the things we believe should be part of a child’s life: a safe place to hang out, people who can instill confidence in them, home cooked meals, fun and games, and sharing hope for a bright future. We know we can make a difference in the futures of kids by investing in their lives today.
EVENTS
We throw several events a year as ways to love and serve our city by meeting practical needs, such as our Back to School Event. We also love to host events where families can make wonderful memories like our city-wide Egg Hunt. These events are meant to be a blessing to our city with no strings attached.
Our Impact
“ Thank you so much for taking care of my kids this Christmas. We had to flee our homes with nothing and our kids would not have had any presents if it were not for you. ”
- Mother of kids at our Center
“ You don’t know how much this means to my family! We stood in line [at another shoe event] for five hours yesterday and got nothing. We stood in line [at the Back to School event] for two hours, all of my kids got shoes, and we were out the door enjoying ourselves at the event in 25 minutes. Thank you so much! ”
- Father of kids who received shoes at our Back to School event
“Sometimes, I don’t know what to do with my daughters. I do my best as a mom and sometimes feel that’s not enough. Having your Center open has helped me have time I need to take care of other things while giving my daughters time to be kids. You guys are a huge part of our family!”
