About This Cause
Common Heart, Inc is a grassroots 501 (c) (3) organization that fosters volunteer community action to address specific issues of hunger and poverty focusing on Union County, NC and surrounding areas. We are located in Indian Trail NC.We do this through mobilizing volunteers, creating resources, advocacy, networking and creating awareness. Common Heart began in 2006 (as Common Heart Missional Community) when four friends embarked on a journey to create ways to bridge the gap for families in need. The desire that motivated them was to be personally active in addressing practical needs. What started as four friends delivering groceries to a few hungry neighbors has become a local grassroots movement of several hundred volunteers. They deliver groceries, visit families, develop friendships, and address very practical needs in a very personal, relational, neighborly way. One of the hallmarks of this movement is showing love by meeting practical needs, listening, caring, praying and just being friends with our neighbors in need. The mission of Common Heart can be summarized in four words. “Bridging the Gap Together.” Our focus is on mobilizing caring people, developing transformative relationships and serving families in need. To do this we seek partners, churches, and other organizations that want to make a difference in our community. We develop programs and resources such as Common Cupboard,Common Things Thrift Store, and Common Heart Free Tax Service. We network with other organizations to find resources to help bridge the gap for people in need. We make connections so that relationships can develop and people can be encouraged to grow. We are followers of Jesus demonstrating God’s love in very practical ways. Our vision can be stated simply; “Encouraging a small revolution of kindness.” We believe that it’s not just giving a bag of groceries or selling some clothing, it is all about how we go about doing it. Love produces love. Kindness produces kindness. The way we revolutionize our communities, our lives and the lives of those we serve is through doing things intentionally different. You can give a person a box of groceries only after he has filled out the proper paperwork, waited for 45 days to see if it all checks out, and stood in line for hours to talk to his case worker. Or, you can just help a neighbor in need and encourage them with a box of groceries, a listening ear and a heart of compassion. We choose the second way! The goal of Common Heart is to do things “in such a way” that God’s love is demonstrated through our actions. It could be delivering groceries, preparing tax returns, helping a customer at the store, finding resources for a family in need, or helping a person access a government benefit. In all we do our modus operandi is intentional, active kindness.
