Keep informed about the on goings of HOHF
 Executive Director: Becki’s Beat
I feel so blessed that so many people contributed to the “Fruits of our Harvest” at our September 11th, 2010 Charity Wine Tasting and Dinner Fundraiser. Friends, supporters and volunteers came together to share in another grand night amongst the vineyards in South Tracy. I realize that there are many worthy non-profit events that take place in our community and I am always amazed at the overwhelming support given to HOHF, so that we can help children who may be in crisis.
A bountiful harvest of $54,000 was gathered for our Fall gifting for 2010! After this years event our team surpassed the half million mark on our accumulative gross revenue for HOHF. The gifting is a favorite part of operating HOHF for President Pam McCain and myself. Seven organizations profited from this year’s blessing, of which 6 of the organizations are local organizations. We now have a ten year history behind us… how is it that we all got to be ten years older so quickly at the same time!
I want to celebrate a bit of our last decade with you all as the chart below maps out our “Charitable Giving” over the past ten years:

As I reflect back on the last ten years of the ongoing's of Hearts of Harvest Foundation, I am thankful and grateful for the opportunity to serve and I am thankful for the vision, the passion and the equipping that God has given me to keep sharing the "Good" and keep growing the “Giving”. He has truly worked through some wonderful servants to help produce an abundance of fruit. God willing, we will continue to "Give of one heart to another", for years to come. Happy Thanksgiving!
