One doesn't have to be wealthy to give, only willing. The Lord will provide.
Hearts Knit Together is a non-profit organization that delivers much needed personal items to those escaping domestic violence, sexual abuse, or war. Our volunteers collect, craft, and assemble these kits which include hygiene items, toys, games, puzzles, clothing and stuffed animals for the children. These kits are distributed through violence shelters, victim support centers, and refugee organizations, to children and adults across the state of Utah. Our mission is to offer joy and order in the lives of those in our community who need it the most.

Stories of real people"You are doing an amazing job. You are the angels that put a smile on the children who are afraid and confused of what happened and anxious of what will happen. You are the angels that give a sense of normalcy to their lives. You are the angels that show the women that good people still walk in this world. You are the angels that let the women know that they are worth it, and they can go on and make it on their own. I wish I could take a picture of their faces when they receive their welcome kits. It makes them know they matter. You are angels, and you will be forever in their hearts. Thank you for what you do. It does make a difference, it does matter BIG time, and it does affect people who receive them in a wonderful way. This is the beginning of a long, happy, loving road, and we are ever so blessed to have you as our allies in this battle." - Claudia Nielson, YWCA Night Manager
