World Humanitarian Day: Meeting People Where they Are

Established by the United Nations on August 19, 2003, World Humanitarian Day is a global celebration of people helping people. At Heartland Alliance, we have no shortage of individuals who are passionate to serve others as we continue to fight for equity and opportunity for ALL. This World Humanitarian Day, we have chosen to recognize the work of our teammates who bring our services directly to those who need it most.

We believe in serving from a strengths-based philosophy, and that means meeting people exactly where they are. Join us in celebrating people helping people with the stories below.
