2013 ANNUAL Report

Strong Families, Kids & Community

Dear Friend of Heartlove,

An un-sung hero defines a person that gives without recognition

to a cause or event. HeartLove Place recognizes that much of

what we do would not be possible without our many “un-sung

heroes” our supporters, staff, and volunteers. We recognize the

volunteers that read to our children, our donors that give, the

staff that are there daily, our Board of Directors and the countless

other volunteers that give their time and talents to serve our

families. All of these efforts support a child that will one day fill

our shoes, a single mom or dad, a family or a returning adult

learner. In 2013 HeartLove Place touched more than 5,000 lives;

men, women, children and families through our programs and

services. We believe that HeartLove Place serves an important

role in the Milwaukee community and we are thankful to have

been able to provide that support. We salute their efforts and the

efforts of our un-sung heroes in 2013 and say THANK YOU!

Sincerely,

Christopher Martin Viola M. Rembert
