If you're here, you belong here.
No long forms. No proving anything. No judgment. Just neighbors.
What kind of help brings you here?
Don't overthink it. Pick the closest fit, and we'll figure the rest out together.
Food, essentials, clothes.
Our community pantry stocks food plus soap, diapers, toilet paper, and household basics that SNAP doesn't cover. A clothing closet with coats and shoes. Farm-fresh eggs.
Hours and address will be posted right here before opening day. Need something now? Reach out below.

Traer and the surrounding area Coming soon ReRooted RescueNeed to rehome an animal?
We're building a no-judgment way to surrender a dog or other animal. It isn't open yet, and there's no drop-off location.
Please don't leave an animal at any HeartRoots building. If you need to rehome an animal today, contact your local animal shelter or animal control. Message us and we'll help you find a good option.
Not taking animals yetReach out however feels easiest.
Call, text, email, or fill out the form below. There's no "right" way to do this.
Four questions. That's the whole ask.
Fill in what feels comfortable. Skip anything that doesn't.
This isn't charity. It's a swap.
Today you might need the pantry. Next month you might be the one bringing tomatoes. That's how this works. Hand-up, then hand extended. Nobody stays "the helped" forever, and nobody stays "the helper" forever either.
And help is never conditioned on faith, belief, or showing up to anything.
