How to Get Involved with the Heart Gallery

About the Heart Gallery of Pinellas and Pasco

The Heart Gallery of Pinellas and Pasco is a program of Gulf Coast JFCS that connects children in foster care with their forever families through adoption. In addition to featuring children, we recruit and support families interested in adoption.

Since the Heart Gallery of Pinellas & Pasco was created in 2006, we have helped find more than 400 adoptive families for our waiting children.

EVENTS & CELEBRATIONS FOR HEART GALLERY FAMILIES

Want to spend time with other adoptive families? Heart Gallery of Pinellas and Pasco family fun nights are open to adoptive families looking for opportunities to share with like-minded individuals and a community cheering for you.

HOST THE GALLERY

Do you have a business or a community space that you think would be perfect to host our Heart Gallery?

Our galleries are hugely important in raising awareness for local children living in foster care and waiting for their forever families. We are always looking for new sites throughout Pinellas and Pasco counties to display art canvases or digital galleries throughout the year.

ADOPTION PROCESS & RESOURCES

Bear with Heart Gallery staff

The first step on your adoption journey is learning about what exactly the journey entails. Adoption is a unique way to build your family while changing children’s lives and enriching your own. While becoming a family is the biggest benefit, the State of Florida has many more to offer.
