Help Us Find “Forever” for Our Kids
Heart Gallery of Tampa uses storytelling and professional photography to bridge the gap between waiting children and loving homes.
Did you know there are children in our community still waiting for a family to call their own?
The Heart Gallery of Tampa is a local nonprofit that uses the power of photography, storytelling and community connection to help children in foster care find adoptive families.
Through powerful photo and video profiles and thoughtfully curated exhibits, we introduce our community to children who are waiting to be adopted, allowing people to see beyond the system and into who each child truly is. These moments of connection spark something deeper … empathy, curiosity and, often, the beginning of a forever family.
But our work doesn’t stop there. We walk alongside families every step of the way, providing guidance, encouragement and ongoing support so that each adoption is built on a strong, stable foundation and every child has the opportunity to truly thrive.

Because sometimes, one connection is all it takes to change the course of a child’s life. Follow along and be on the lookout for stories of our children, our families and the powerful ways our community is coming together to help find forever for our kids.
