Those that have worked as a volunteer or in the non-profit world know that no matter how much you give when you volunteer you always get so much more in return. Tonight I’m flying high because I got to spend the afternoon giving back, and it was just so much fun. Because of confidentiality, I cannot share photos or anything about the youth I got to meet in Muskegon and photograph today.

But what I can tell you about is the awesome organization that brought us together. The Michigan Heart Gallery, is a photo exhibit of children in the Michigan foster care system who are waiting for an adoptive family of their own. It was created to help find forever families for children in foster care. The exhibit moves around the state throughout the year so be on the lookout for when it comes close to home. Or, click on the link above and see if you make a ‘heart connection’ with one of the kids listed.
