Homes with Heart VC

During the Coastlands Group - Eric and Janet Baucom Project Bicycle Love Christmas bike giveaway, we heard about some of the amazing impacts the non-profit has made in the lives of families in our community. A woman whose brother recently passed away has been fostering his 5 children and chose to put her savings towards an apartment big enough to keep all her children together as opposed to purchasing a vehicle. Because of this, she relies heavily on public transportation. The family took the bus from South Oxnard to Ventura and walked several miles to get to the bike distribution office where Project Bicycle Love provided bicycles to each of the siblings. After the exciting exchange, a gracious volunteer transported the family and their bikes back home, so they didn’t have to take the bus.

Homes with Heart VC would like to extend our gratitude to our amazing Business with Heart VC partner, Coastlands Group - Eric and Janet Baucom's Project Bicycle Love. With the help of the community, the non-profit graciously donated 217 brand new bikes and helmets to children and youth in foster care in 2020! From the bottom of our hearts, THANK YOU!

It's a new year and Homes with Heart VC is calling on our Latino communities to step up and support our youth in care. Listen to our latest radio interview with our amazing Rosa Mendez and Alicia from the KOXR El Mercadito show. Hear them discuss the need for additional Latino homes in Ventura County and the importance of providing unconditional love and support to our youth in care as well as their families.

Starting in January, the Kids & Families Together Nurturing Connections Group will have a new meeting time! Please see below for our new times and updated flyer. English group: Every Wednesday, 4-5pm Spanish group: 1st and 3rd Wednesday, 3:30-4:30pm

Thank you Ventura county for your support. From our resource partners who support our youth and families throughout the year to every single community member who called and asked how they can help this holiday! Thank you Ally
