About Jennifer Jones
Hagar’s Heart supports, educates, and empowers domestic violence survivors through self-care initiatives.Twenty Shoeboxes and Orange CarnationsMay 2020. Worldwide Pandemic. The burning desire to help other women couldn\'t wait any longer. A pandemic was no longer going to stop me. So I posted on Facebook what I was going to do. I would love donations, but I was not a nonprofit. I had created this idea of, what I called, an I SEE YOU box in my mind: a shoebox filled with luxury items for women in domestic violence shelters and flowers for children to give to their moms. I reached out to a local catering company to ask if they could cater a nice brunch for these moms.On Saturday, May 9th, 2020, I delivered 20 shoeboxes, one orange carnation per child (to give to their mom), and a brunch for 16 women in a local domestic violence shelter.Two weeks later, the nonprofit 501(c)3 became HAGAR\'S HEART.We\'ve grown from 20 unlabeled shoeboxes, to serving 5 domestic violence shelters across the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex, in multiple ways, providing bikes, car seats, strollers, and meals, all so that women can take care of themselves.The vision of Hagar\'s Heart is to become the go to nonprofit for Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex women\'s shelters, when they are in need of more than the necessities-tools to help women rediscover they are seen, valued, and loved.
